Piggott said: “When I was first introduced to this company, I knew that it was a perfect fit for me professional and personally. At that stage, we were known as HSA, BCWA, HealthSure, LHF and Totally Active and this year, our family of organisations is coming together as one Simplyhealth. I am proud to be in this instrumental position as we take our next significant steps as an organisation.”
