25 years supporting the NHS
Our shared timeline since 1992…
This year we celebrate our 25 year anniversary; our company was initially founded in 1992 the year that the
Christmas number one single was Whitney Houston “I will always love you” – takes you back eh?! Since then the
NHS has experienced innumerable changes, reorganisations and reconfigurations. We have supported our NHS,
social care and private healthcare clients through many changes of directions, increasingly tight budgets and
increasing regulation. Here is a lookback on our last 25 years with the NHS:
