Leadership update
Voyage Care Leadership updates

As part of the planned transition to our new senior leadership team we can
confirm that Mike McKessar, our incoming Chief Executive Officer, will be
joining Voyage Care on 17 June. Mike's values and ethos are fully aligned to
our purpose of delivering great quality care and support for people with
complex needs.  Voyage Care continues to maintain its sector leading quality
outcomes and, under Mike's leadership, is well positioned for continued
growth, supported by Wren House's long-term, committed ownership.

We are also pleased to welcome Peter Haspel, who has joined the Voyage Care
family as Interim Chief Financial Officer.  From 21 May, Peter has taken up a
position on the Voyage Care board.  Peter has extensive experience in
financial and commercial roles including as CFO and CEO for multi-site
property backed businesses across a range of sectors, including care, and
social housing, student accommodation and leisure, both in the UK and Europe.
Most recently Peter was Interim CFO at specialist care provider Elysium
Healthcare and, prior to that Interim CFO at care home and social housing
provider Anchor Hannover Group.

"I am excited to be joining Voyage Care, with its outstanding reputation for
the quality of care it delivers. I look forward to working together with
colleagues to deliver further growth and to continue to make a positive
difference to the lives of the people we support."
 
Peter Haspel, Interim CFO

Peter replaces Shaun Parker who, as previously announced, is retiring from his
executive role after a long and distinguished career. Shaun has been with
Voyage Care for over six years during which time he oversaw a successful bond
placement and had a major role in the acquisition of Voyage Care by Wren House
in 2021. Shaun has been instrumental in ensuring the robust financial health
of the company and will be missed by us all when he leaves in June, but we
wish him well in the future.

"I am pleased to confirm my start date in June and am looking forward to
working together with our passionate colleagues to further our purpose of
delivering great care and support. I would also like to take this opportunity
to welcome Peter to Voyage Care, and to thank both Jayne Davey (Interim CEO)
and Shaun Parker (CFO) for their dedicated leadership of the organisation and
personally for their meaningful support through this leadership
transition."
 
Mike McKessar, Incoming CEO
