The Healthcare Property Company (HPC) has announced that Ray Stanbridge has joined the board of the company’s parent, The Healthcare Property Group (HPG), to support its ambitious growth plans.
A founding partner of Stanbridge Associates, a specialist accountancy and tax advisory practice for medical consultants and private hospitals, Stanbridge has joined HPG as a non-executive director, joining on the board Paul Stacey, the founder and managing director, and Victoria Stacey, director.
His appointment will support HPC’s new focus on the development of healthcare facilities for the private sector.
Historically, HPC has worked predominantly with the NHS in developing a range of facilities in primary care. It has also developed polyclinics in Germany.
Its move to working with the private sector was established four years ago when it partnered with IVF pioneer, Bourn Hall.
HPC is now exploring a range of opportunities in the private sector, although because of its extensive experience of working with NHS providers it will continue to look for opportunities in the public sector.Stacey said: “Ray’s appointment to the HPG board begins an exciting new period for us as we engage more extensively with private sector operators and stakeholders.
“He has an impressive wealth of knowledge and experience in the private healthcare sector which will support our new strategy.”
