Justin Ash

Justin has been CEO of Spire Healthcare, the FTSE hospital group, since the end of 2017. At Spire, he has been leading a group transformation, driving up quality standards, and delivering on Spire’s partnership with the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic. Justin was appointed Chair of Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) in December 2021 taking over from Professor Judith Ellis. He has been involved in supporting the charity in various ways since 2016, through the work of the Fraxinus Trust and by completing a 300km one day bike ride.

“I am delighted and honoured to be appointed the new Chair of THET. I was inspired by THET’s vision of connecting NHS health professionals and healthcare workers in LMICs in partnerships for mutual learning and support, and especially to help embed sustainable health infrastructures in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.”
