Exemplar Healthcare, a portfolio company of mid-market private equity firm Agilitas, has appointed Dr Mark Jackson as chairman, with immediate effect.
Exemplar is a provider of nurse-led residential care for adults with disabilities.
Jackson worked for many years as a GP, and as a GP practice lead, before founding and growing his own company. He has also served on the boards of a number of well-known companies in the health and care sectors, including several years as deputy chairman of Allied Healthcare.
Martin Calderbank, managing partner at Agilitas, says: “Mark Jackson brings a wealth of expertise to Exemplar which will further strengthen the leadership team.”
Exemplar’s managing director Euan Craig adds: “Dr Mark Jackson’s clinical background and considerable business and health sector experience will be of great value to Exemplar, and his appointment will strengthen our senior leadership team as we prepare for a period of significant expansion.”
Jackson says: “I have been enormously impressed by the commitment of all Exemplar staff and their unwavering focus on quality. Ever since my early career working with the NHS as a GP I have been aware of the difficulty involved in sourcing great care for people with the most complex physical and mental healthcare needs. I am therefore very excited about being able to help Exemplar to grow and to extend its services to many more people in the years ahead.”
