Peter Mullin is an experienced healthcare entrepreneur and consultant with a strong track record of building successful businesses and delivering commercial solutions across the NHS. He founded and grew a healthcare consultancy to more than 60 people, becoming a recognised specialist in procurement, contract management and outsourced services. The business worked with over 70% of NHS Trusts, successfully competing with established in-house solutions and building long-term, profitable relationships that delivered sustained value for clients. Its reputation and success attracted former NHS Chief Executive Sir David Nicholson as a Non-Executive Director — the only such commercial appointment he held at the time. Following the sale of the main business in 2023, Peter retained an interest in and became Chairman of Lifecycle Consulting Services (LCS). He subsequently established Progen Diagnostics to bring innovative diagnostic technologies into the UK healthcare market, initially through Uromonitor. Peter combines commercial experience with a practical understanding of how the NHS actually works: how decisions are made, how solutions are evaluated, bought and adopted, and, crucially, how to turn an initial opportunity into a long-term partnership that delivers lasting value for both the NHS and its commercial partners.

Jonathan brings extensive experience in NHS procurement, contract management and commercial strategy. As Commercial Director of Lifecycle Management Group, he played an important role in developing the business’s commercial relationships and expanding its services to NHS organisations. He combines a detailed understanding of NHS purchasing processes with practical experience of developing healthcare services, negotiating commercial arrangements and building long-term partnerships. Jonathan brings valuable commercial expertise and established NHS relationships to the team, helping translate opportunities into sustainable, commercially successful healthcare solutions.
