2010-05-04
Lighthouse Healthcare has appointed a new Commercial Director.
Chris Hughes, 38, joins the company from Mental Health Care (MHC), where he was Development Manager.
His new role with Lighthouse is wide ranging but his main focus will be on ensuring occupancy levels remain high and developing and maintaining relationships with commissioners.
He will also provide support to the managers at the hospitals and care homes the company operates in the UK.
Chris, who began his career as a nurse in the NHS before moving into the independent sector, said: “I am delighted to be joining a growing company that is clearly going places and hope that with my clinical and operational background, I can bring some new ideas and ways of working that will help the organisation as it continues to move forward.”
George Blackoe, Managing Director of Lighthouse Healthcare, said: “Chris will be development and occupancy focused and his wealth of purchasing experience will stand the company in good stead as we continue to develop our existing services and introduce new ones.”
