A North West business which delivers digital transformation projects to the NHS is planning to expand nationwide.
max20 Project Solutions has completed over £50 million worth of projects since its launch six years ago and increased turnover by an average of over 50% each year during that time.
The Altrincham-based business is now the leading provider of digital services through the NHS GCloud supplier framework which serves around 300 NHS bodies. Although it mainly operates in the North West and Wales, it now plans to roll its services throughout the UK to help the NHS to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digital technologies.
As part of its plans, it has made a number of senior appointments. Jo Watmore has been appointed head of finance. With over 25 years’ experience across financial services, healthcare and investment banking Watmore joins from Equilibrium Financial Planning.
New Account Manager Sam Taylor will continue to boost max20’s capability in the North West whilst Jake Archer and Clirim Burrniku take on the roles of sales manager to drive max20’s growth in London and the South.
max20 was set up over 20 years ago by Don and Lynne Tomlinson to recruit IT specialists for the NHS. Its projects division was established in 2017 and provides a unique service mobilising specialist non-medical consulting teams to deliver projects to improve healthcare outcomes across both acute and community settings.
Its clients include Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, The Northern Care Alliance, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.
Recent projects have included the digitisation of health records for Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and providing a technical team to service the entire IT infrastructure for the Etihad Mass Vaccination Centre in Manchester.
“The NHS is facing its biggest challenges in years, yet digital technologies offer the opportunity to dramatically improve efficiency and transform outcomes for patients,” said MD Don Tomlinson.
“As a specialist in healthcare technology we can draw on our vast network of subject matter experts to mobilise quickly and effectively. Our key differentiators see us well placed to scale our model and expand across the UK, whilst understanding the challenges and constraints facing the NHS.”
