A clean bill of health for Optima's IPO, listing on AIM and demerger from Marlowe plc

We couldn't be more thrilled than to have helped Optima Health plc with its IPO, demerger from Marlowe plc and listing on London's AIM market with an expected market capitalisation of c.£190m.

Optima Health is the UK’s leading provider of technology enabled corporate health and wellbeing solutions in the occupational health sector. Underpinned by a robust clinical governance framework, the Group leverages its proprietary technology and flexible delivery platform to foster healthy high performance within its clients’ workforces. Marlowe plc is the UK leader in business-critical services which assure regulatory compliance.

 Jonathan Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of Optima Health, commented: “We are delighted to begin Optima Health’s journey as an AIM-quoted company. As an independent business, we are well positioned to continue our successful track record of growth, both organic and through successful acquisition and integration, within the strong and growing occupational health market in the UK. Being a publicly listed company will provide us with an opportunity to build and deliver significant value for our shareholders and employees and we look forward to beginning this exciting new chapter in our story.”

 Our thanks to our wonderful clients at Panmure Liberum, A&O Shearman and, of course, at Optima Health plc on this milestone for the company.
