Healix International announces key senior appointments
Healix International has announced a series of senior-level appointments to support its ongoing development and growth. With new roles appointed across operations, risk management, and sales delivery, the business can meet increasing demand without compromising on quality.
After a year of strong performance, marked by a 50% increase in operating profit, a 17% uplift in year-on-year sales growth, and a headcount expansion of around 20%, this significant growth reflects the company’s sustained delivery across key markets and its ongoing investment in strategic development.
As part of the international growth strategy, the company also plans to open a new office in Melbourne, Australia, later this summer – a significant milestone for the business.
To reinforce the leadership team and support this next phase of growth, co-founder of Healix International, Paul Beven, has returned to the business in the new role of Chairman.
