Bryan, who has 25 years experience as a top financial lawyer and 20 years experience advising on national and international corporate finance especially in the medical sector, will provide the benefit of his expertise to The Medical House, as the group continues its trail of acquisitions, mergers and licensing agreements.

Sheffield-based group of medical services companies include orthopaedic instrument manufacturer Eurocut, computer aided design consultancy Creative Medical Design, the UK’s major dental information service company DERWeb, a principal source of medical and health reference material on the Internet Healthworks and the latest addition, Medical House Publishing, which sells software licensing and leading-edge medical content such as Computer Aided Learning.

Bryan has been involved with Ian Townsend (the former Chief Executive of Sheffield United) in other commercial activities, including Eurocut, for more than 7 years.

Commenting on latest addition to his corporate team, Ian Townsend, Chief Executive said, "Every member of our board has a serious commercial track record and nowhere is this better demonstrated than in Bryan’s experience. Bryan’s commercial finance expertise is unrivalled, especially in the public arena and we are delighted he has agreed to join the board in the non-executive role of Chairman."
