Cheshire-based firm, ModuleCo Healthcare (MCH), has appointed Richard Henry as business development manager.

Henry will be responsible for overseeing daily communications between the organisation and its healthcare clients, including multiple NHS trusts across the UK.

He joins the team with more than 30 years of experience working in business strategy and development and will play a key role in supporting MCH’s clients with the supply and maintenance of wards, theatres and other clinical facilities.

Established in 2002, MCH has worked closely with NHS Trusts across the UK to deliver more than 100 bespoke facilities for hospitals.  

Most recently, the firm built an acute medical unit extension for Maidstone Hospital in Kent and a two-storey modular theatre and ward complex for the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham.

Alan Wilson, managing director of MCH, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Richard to the team at what is an incredibly busy time for ModuleCo Healthcare. I’m confident we can make a real difference to the healthcare estate within the NHS in the coming weeks and months, and Richard will play a big part in that.”

He added: “Covid-19 means there’s never been a more crucial time to provide assistance to the NHS, who are working tirelessly every day to keep us all safe. Richard’s appointment will allow us to increase our resources and provide more support to hospitals across the country.”

Commenting on his new appointment, Henry said: “I’m thrilled to be bringing my skills and experience to a role where I can make a real difference to communities.”

He added: “Helping the NHS to operate as efficiently as possible has never been more important than it is right now, so I’m keen to hit the ground running and start delivering healthcare facilities that will benefit NHS professionals, patients and wider society.”
