Dave Simpson from our Healthcare Team has now been promoted to Director – Paula Mace, our Head of Healthcare had this to say about Dave – “I am delighted that Dave Simpson has been promoted to Director. This is a well-deserved recognition of hard work and dedication to the team and the company since he joined the healthcare team in March 2021. Dave has been instrumental in expanding our services in the north, significantly increasing volumes of transactions and new business and building client relationships in this location. He has also been central to building the team itself, and continues to be involved in business development and plans for growth, to expand our geographical coverage even further. Dave brings with him an unflappable nature and cheery personality. Congratulations and well done Dave!”
