Dr Now/Now Healthcare Group Makes Two Senior Appointments

The innovative mHealth company welcomes a new COO and CTO following its recent relocation to Manchester's MediaCityUK.

Dr Now and Now Healthcare Group are delighted to announce the appointment of two new senior staff members following our recent expansion and move to Manchester's MediaCityUK. We are able to confirm the appointment of Ian Ronald as Chief Operating Officer (COO), as well as the arrival of Tim Ng as Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Ian Ronald arrives at Now Healthcare Group as an experienced operator of retail and consumer businesses including BP, Pizza Hut, Scholastic, Tastecard and The Wine Society. He is an expert in business strategy and development, revenue growth and operational improvement. He is responsible for delivering the Dr Now service to the high standards set by Now Healthcare Group as a company.

Ian's experience covers several sectors, including financial technology, restaurants, children's books and fine wines. His role will see him remain focused on what the customer – the Dr Now patient – requires and the best ways in which this can be achieved through our mHealth service.

Tim Ng boasts a wealth of experience, having been a leader of technology teams in a variety of settings for over 16 years. His CV includes previous employment at companies including Fujitsu/ICL, Latitude Group, threeSixty Services LLP (Standard Life) and tech start-up company Property Moose.

A number of core platforms developed by Tim have been integrated with large scale enterprise systems and web API frameworks with Overture (Yahoo), Google and MIVA. His role at Now Healthcare Group will see him oversee the continued development and innovation of the Dr Now mHealth platforms and applications.

The appointments come at an exciting time for Dr Now, with new business clients and further exciting opportunities soon to be announced in the New Year, as Now Healthcare Group continues to establish itself as the world's premier mobile health organisation.

Founder and CEO of Now Healthcare Group and Dr Now, Lee Dentith, made the following statement:

“We are thrilled to welcome both Ian and Tim to the business, with these appointments further showing our ambition as a company as we head into 2016. Our commitment to providing patients with an effective healthcare solution will continue into the New Year, and with Ian and Tim both on board we're confident that we can continue our fantastic progress and make further strides as a business.
