Unlike many of our competitors, we are a clinically led organisation from the top down. Our Life President and Founder, Dr Mike Goldsmith, established the Medigold Health brand and service delivery model on the uncompromising principles of quality and integrity.
We are very different to many of our competitors; We have scale, but we have a human face; We have clinical heritage, but we have pioneered the most advanced modern technology; We have our own-employed clinical resources, but still have a fully national presence, And we are growing, investing and inspiring, but we are stable and without leverage.
In October 2017 we encouraged proposals for external investment, and subsequently formed a partnership with the Business Growth Fund (BGF) who provided capital investment which enabled us to complete a number of acquisitions in both the Occupational Health and Alcohol & Drug testing markets, strengthening our national footprint and improving our vertical integration of relevant organisational health & wellbeing services.
