Cash plan provider Medicash has appointed Andrew Healy MBE as chief executive to succeed Sue Weir, who is retiring in March 2025 after 21 years at the company.
Healy’s background includes CEO roles in a number of mutual and community-focused financial services businesses. He was awarded an MBE in 2023 for services to the local community.
‘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,’ said Healy.
Under Weir’s leadership, Medicash has grown from 135,000 policyholders to over 630,000 and become the largest provider of corporate cash plans in the UK. In 2018, it was awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool in recognition of its longstanding commitment to charitable giving and contribution to healthcare.
Medicash chair Jonathan Brown said the firm’s board was pleased to appoint a CEO of Andrew’s calibre and experience.
‘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,’ he added.
‘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.’
