Autism Care (UK) Limited (ACUK), part of the Maria Mallaband Care Group (MMCG) has appointed a new Operations Director to run its specialist care services division. Gary Thompson, who spent just over a year as the company's Operations Manager was promoted to the position in November.
Gary has more than 20 years' experience in the care industry, both development and operational roles on a national level for large providers before joining ACUK. His previous work with adults with a learning disability and/or autism and complex needs will be especially useful for him as he is now directly responsible for running the specialist care services side of ACUK currently with 31 services in its portfolio.
"Gary is perfect for this position" says Phil Burgan, MMCG Chairman and CEO. "He is a valuable asset to our business and will be an important part of our continued growth and success."
As Operations Director, Gary will lead and manage an experienced and skilled management team. "My primary concern is to ensure that the high quality of specialist care that people have come to expect from ACUK will continue by ensuring that care services are running smoothly and efficiently by responding swiftly to individual needs".
MMCG was established in 1996 by Phil Burgan, who named it after his grandmother. ACUK was acquired by the Group in 2006 and has continued to grow. The Group has 56 properties throughout the UK, ranging from the Channel Islands to County Durham, including eight in Yorkshire. In addition to specialist healthcare, MMCG also runs care homes for the elderly as well as luxury retirement properties.
