(Alliance News) - Specialist social care provider CareTech Holdings PLC confirmed on Monday Christopher Dickinson has taken up the role of chief financial officer.
Dickinson is currently the CFO at Cambian Group, which CareTech last summer purchased for GBP278.5 million. Cambian's shareholders own 36% of the enlarged group.
Before joining the new business, he worked at broker Jefferies Group LLC, where he acted on behalf of CareTech in its acquisition of Cambian. Before that, he worked at JPMorgan Chase & Co for 14 years.
CareTech Chair Farouq Sheikh said: "I am delighted to confirm Chris' appointment as CareTech's CFO. Chris was heavily involved in our acquisition of Cambian and has since been an integral part of the team successfully integrating the two businesses.
"Chris has demonstrated a strong practical understanding of all parts of the group and has the expertise to further the success of CareTech. The board looks forward to working with him as we continue to build on our leading position. I would also like to thank Gareth Dufton who stepped in as interim CFO following the sad passing of Michael Hill in December 2018."
CareTech shares were 1.8% higher on Monday morning in London at a price of 468.25 pence each.
