Vanguard’s European expansion

The company, which reports “unprecedented success” in the UK in recent years, is planning to expand into the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland and Scandinavia – an international push implemented, in part, by its newly developed partnership with multinational healthcare company Alliance Medical. Gary King, co-founder and international development director, Vanguard Healthcare, said: “It is our ambition to establish a European headquarters in the Netherlands, from which our international operations will be based, and the partnership with Alliance has given us the infrastructure with which to make this happen.” “The service we provide is not just relevant to the UK. Similar issues and challenges, particularly with regard to controlling surgical waiting times, are being experienced elsewhere in Europe.”
