Welcome, Ian!

We would just like to say a huge welcome and hello to Ian Massey who has joined Craig Healthcare as Group Finance Director.

Ian is hugely experienced in banking and finance, recently spending 10 years at Santander. He’s been brought on board to help deliver our very exciting ambition of the acquisition or build of a new care home in the next 12 to 18 months.

Lucy Craig, our managing director, said: “It’s a very exciting time for Craig Healthcare, creating a bigger opportunity to achieve more.

“Ian shares a similar ethos to me – care comes first; the rest follows. I can’t wait for the new journey that lies ahead.”

Ian has worked for high profile organisations including Alliance & Leicester, Yorkshire Bank and NatWest Bank. He leaves Santander after a decade, where he established a large portfolio of clients who, in the last five years, were specifically healthcare focused.

Ian added: “Craig Healthcare has a very strong vision and bespoke social purpose and I am excited to join the organisation. Great care is the priority and running a business will always come second to that.

“In order to improve, you have to change and that’s exactly what we’re going to do now that I’m on board so that we’re in a position to acquire or build a new care home by 2021.”
