Nick joins MyHealthChecked from Viscose Closures Limited ("Viscose"), a manufacturer of Film and Cellulose tamper evident solutions, where he was Finance Director for two years. Nick brings with him over 20 years' experience having worked across multiple industries and commercial organisations, including eight years as Group Financial controller and Analyst at BBI Group Holdings Ltd where he worked alongside MyHealthChecked CEO, Penny McCormick.

Lesley also spent 14 years as Finance Director at Invigia Limited, a CRM software company specialising in customer complaints management primarily for the finance sector, managing the sale of the company for cash to the Equiniti group in October 2014.

Laura Moore leaves the board as Non-Executive Director with immediate effect to pursue other opportunities. Laura was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in October 2021 following the acquisition of Nell Health.

Penny McCormick, Chief Executive Officer of MyHealthChecked Plc, said: "I am delighted to be welcoming Lesley and Nick to the MyHealthChecked Board. The last 12 months have been incredibly dynamic for the Company and as we issue our suite of at-home wellness tests this quarter, the support and experience brought by Nick and Lesley will be invaluable as the business continues to grow.
