Optima Health held its FY ’26 financial results presentation on Aug. 17. CEO Jonathan Thomas and interim CFO Andrew Bones led the session, which covered the company’s annual financial highlights, strategic progress and outlook.
Thomas described Optima Health as the U.K.’s market leader in occupational health and well-being. The company helps organizations build multiyear health programs that monitor, report, advise on and rehabilitate workplace-related health issues. It also assists businesses with legislative compliance, risk management and productivity improvements, the CEO said.
The addressable market across the U.K. and Ireland is roughly £1.6 billion, Thomas said. He pointed to the cost of ill health for employees, which totals about £85 billion annually, and the 150 million working days lost to sickness absence each year. The broader cost to the state runs about £212 billion, he added.
