Simplyhealth Group breaks the £300m barrier
At yesterday’s AGM, Simplyhealth Group Chief Executive Des Benjamin highlighted a year of steady performance by the health and wellbeing mutual. Addressing group members at The Royal Society of Medicine in London, he detailed progress over the last year with this message: “Now is the time to invest in the future because we are building an organisation that is fit to participate in the healthcare system of the future.”
Finance Director Keith Blacker reviewed the group’s financial results – highlights of which include turnover breaking through the £300m barrier, record payments of £231m returned to customers for their healthcare claims and reserves increasing to £258.5m.
The Simplyhealth Group has made significant progress over the last five years. Turnover has grown by 111%, reserves by nearly £99m and the number of trading divisions has expanded from two to seven.
During 2006, these trading divisions have focused on returning quality and value back to the customer by working more closely together. The Simplyhealth Group ‘quality mark’ is now attached to all products and services, as it represents a mutual organisation with the ethos ‘it matters more how good we are than how much we make’.
