Community Health and Eye Care (CHEC) appointed Tim Knockton as group chief financial officer and James Wilson as chief technology officer to its expanding healthcare team.
Knockton, a former finance director for Arc Inspirations, said: ‘My ambition is to build on what is already an amazing foundation, ensuring we can scale proficiently while making a truly positive impact on communities around the country.’
Entrepreneur Wilson, who previously worked as chief technology officer at Red Flag Alert, added: ‘I want to make sure the services sitting behind CHEC compel our referrers – GPs, optometrists and NHS Trusts – to work with us at every opportunity.
'My aim is to ensure we’re delivering such a high-quality technological solution that we differentiate ourselves in the market.’
CHEC also announced the upcoming launch of a 7,830 sq ft hospital in Kings Norton, Birmingham, with free parking, transport links and the promise of ophthalmology appointments within four weeks of referral.
