Runwood Homes has appointed Phil Thomas as group chief financial officer.

Thomas, who was most recently chief financial officer at Four Seasons Health Care, has worked in social care in senior roles for many years.

Thomas said: “Having spent 20 years in the sector, I am looking forward to bringing my experience to the business to support its continued drive for success and growth, and ultimately provide the highest level of care for our residents.”

Jeremy Richardson, the group’s chief executive and former Four Seasons Health Care boss, said: “It is a pleasure to welcome Phil to Runwood Homes.  Phil is a highly experienced CFO and, most importantly, he has a deep understanding of care home operations. 

“Having worked alongside Phil previously, I know exactly what he will bring to the business, and I am excited to work with him again as we continue to develop the Runwood Homes Group.”
