Medicash has named Andrew Healy MBE as its new chief executive as Sue Weir retires in March 2025 following 21 years at the company.
Healy has served as CEO of a number of mutual and community-focused financial services companies. In 2023, he was awarded an MBE for his community work. He is scheduled to start on March 3rd, subject to regulatory approval.
According to Medicash, it has grown significantly under Weir’s direction, going from 135,000 policyholders to over 630,000. Additionally, the business is now the UK’s biggest supplier of corporate cash plans. In 2018, Medicash was awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool for its contributions to healthcare and commitment to charity giving.
Andrew said: “I am truly delighted to be joining Medicash, a wonderful organisation that for more than 150 years has been making a positive difference through its innovative healthcare offerings and outstanding charitable foundation. I look forward to building on the strong platform created by Sue Weir and to working with the talented Medicash team to continue to grow the business and to support our customers, colleagues and communities in every way possible.”
Medicash chair Jonathan Brown says: “It was always going to be a momentous occasion when Sue decided to retire and her unwavering commitment to both the business and the charitable work supported through the Medicash Foundation have left a permanent mark on the sector. I want to thank her personally for all her expertise and guidance, it has been such a pleasure working with her and seeing the company grow from strength to strength.
“In Andrew Healy, we’re confident we have a capable and worthy successor who very much shares our vision for the business to take it forward, while possessing the personal values and characteristics necessary to maintain the existing culture and ethos of Medicash.”
Weir says: “I’d like to thank my wonderful colleagues for making my time here an absolute pleasure. The team has embraced change to enable Medicash to become the best in its sector and I wish Andrew well in his new role.
“I’m looking forward to building on my portfolio of Chair and Non Executive Director positions in the commercial, charity and public sectors, along with spending more time with friends and family.”
