Healix has appointed Sharon Burgess in the newly created role of operations director.
Burgess (pictured) joins from Axa Health where she was corporate customer service manager, having previously held a similar role at Simplyhealth prior to that.
In all she brings more than 30 years industry experience to her new role.
Her appointment follows a year in which the firm posted 20% growth in 2022, added new hires and opened a new office in Bristol.
Burgess also joins Healix’s executive board.
Ian Talbot, CEO at Healix Health, said: “With the ongoing pressures being placed on the NHS, we are continuing to see a growing demand for corporate healthcare trusts as a means of employers helping their staff keep on top of their health, avoiding long wait times and receiving help for conditions that might not be covered by other more traditional private medical options.
“Bringing Sharon on board is a huge step in helping us meet this demand and continue to deliver excellent services to our clients.
“Sharon brings an indispensable wealth of knowledge and diverse market experience to Healix – I’m thrilled to welcome her to the team and I look forward to working together to drive further growth.”
