Peter Maskell, BHSF

Health and wellbeing organisation BHSF has acquired London-based occupational health services provider Nexus Healthcare.

Nexus will initially be a subsidiary of BHSF Occupational Health, which is led by Dr Philip McCrea, managing director at BHSF Occupational Health.

The acquisition will provide BHSF's occupational health division with nationwide coverage.

Dr Steven Sperber, who founded Nexus Healthcare in 2005, will continue with BHSF. No redundancies are expected to occur in either organisation as a result of the acquisition.

Peter Maskell (pictured), group chief executive at BHSF, said: “We are very pleased to have acquired such a successful business which will strengthen our occupational health proposition and give us greater presence in the marketplace, especially in London and the South East.”
