Medicash has announced that Sue Weir, its Chief Executive, will step down in March 2025 after an exceptional 21 years with the company.
With a proud reputation as the UK’s largest provider of corporate cash plans and over 600,000 policyholders, Medicash has selected Andrew Healy MBE as Sue’s successor. Andrew brings extensive leadership experience, having held CEO positions within mutual and community-focused financial organisations. He was awarded an MBE in 2023 for his services to the local community. His appointment, pending regulatory approval, will take effect from 3 March 2025.
Andrew shared his enthusiasm for the new 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, Medicash Chair, reflected on Sue’s achievements and warmly welcomed Andrew’s appointment. He remarked: “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.”
During Sue’s time at Medicash, the organisation has flourished, increasing its policyholder base from 135,000 to over 630,000. The company was also recognised with the Freedom of the City of Liverpool in 2018, reflecting its ongoing charitable contributions and commitment to improving healthcare.
Reflecting on her career, Sue said: “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.”
