0​3 September 2024

Everon, the European market leader in digital grouped living solutions, has announced the appointment of Mark Smith to lead the company’s UK sales and partnerships team at a time of significant change and opportunity for digital healthcare.

As UK Sales Director for Everon, Mark will draw on more than 35 years of experience in the technology enabled care (TEC) sector, to continue strong relationships with project teams within NHS community healthcare and private sector housing organisations.

Mark joins Everon having worked with several industry leading companies supporting digital transformation in the public sector as well as opportunities for business growth across health, housing and social care using his technology, SaaS and Smart City experience.

He is also someone with a passion for driving improvement and improved health outcomes, through the potential of TEC, having become an established thought leader on the impact that digital solutions can make to improving at-home preventative care and reducing pressures on public sector services.

Peter Kerly, Managing Director, Everon UK, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Mark to the team, and look forward to the impact he will bring as we enter an exciting new chapter for the business. Our thanks go to Lee Balfour who has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth as Sales Director over the past four years and we wish him all the best for the future.

“We are determined at Everon UK to make it easier for our existing and future clients to invest in our game changing digital solutions, including our recently announced partnership with Siemens Leasing, allowing health, housing and social providers to access the technology services now with flexible commercial options.

“This year we have also announced new strategic partnerships that have given us the capability to deliver systems that will bring the next generation of proactive care technology to assisted living providers, ensuring people can live independently for longer.

“By 2027 UK TEC will be fully digital and Mark will play a pivotal role in terms of bringing Everon to the attention of new health and care providers as they make that transition to a more pro-active and supportive approach, delivering TEC solutions that have the potential to transform healthcare as we know it.”

Mark Smith, Sales Director, Everon UK, said: “Everon UK is on an exciting journey, and I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to play my part in the company’s continued growth as a leading UK TEC solution provider. This is not just another job for me, but an opportunity to share my experience to support, grow and motivate the next team of thought leaders driving change in health, housing and social care. I can’t wait to get started.”
