Medicash has revealed that Sue Weir, its Chief Executive, will be stepping down in March 2025 after more than two decades of dedicated service to the company.
The UK’s leading provider of corporate cash plans, Medicash, with over 600,000 policyholders, has announced Andrew Healy MBE as her successor. Andrew has a distinguished background as CEO in mutual and community-focused financial organisations and was awarded an MBE in 2023 for his services to the community. His appointment, subject to regulatory approval, will commence on 3 March 2025.
Andrew shared his excitement about the role, stating: “I am truly delighted to be joining Medicash, a wonderful organisation that for more than 150 years has been making a positive difference through its innovative healthcare offerings and outstanding charitable foundation. 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.”
Jonathan Brown, Chair of Medicash, reflected on Sue’s transformative leadership and warmly welcomed Andrew to the organisation. He said: “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.
“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.”
Under Sue’s guidance, Medicash has grown its policyholder base from 135,000 to over 630,000, cementing its position as the largest provider of corporate cash plans in the UK. In 2018, the company was honoured with the Freedom of the City of Liverpool, recognising its long-standing charitable work and commitment to improving healthcare.
Sue reflected on her time as CEO, saying: “I’d like to thank my wonderful colleagues for making my time here an absolute pleasure. The team has embraced change to enable Medicash to become the best in its sector and I wish Andrew well in his new role.
“I’m looking forward to building on my portfolio of Chair and Non-Executive Director positions in the commercial, charity and public sectors, along with spending more time with friends and family.”
