Tristone Healthcare – the buy and build social care investment group – has bolstered its senior leadership team with the appointment of John McCooey.

John, who joins from Amelia Knight Group, has more than 25 years’ experience in finance and commercial director level positions, with particular expertise in operational and strategic financial management, improving profitability and business efficiencies, together with acquisition, divestment, and business integration. He will take on the role of Commercial Director at Tristone and be responsible for driving commercial excellence within the existing portfolio, as well as supporting the M&A team to integrate new businesses into the portfolio.

At the end of 2021, Tristone received £20 million of funding from Duke Royalty to support its long-term growth ambitions. The capital has been used to refinance Tristone’s existing facilities, as well as supporting current investments and future acquisitions.
