Graham Roberts
With great sadness, Assura plc announces that Graham Roberts, its former Chief Executive
Officer, passed away last Friday, having been suffering from cancer.
Graham had been a great leader and CEO for Assura over the past four years, delivering a period of
unparalleled success which has seen the market capitalisation increase from £152m to become a FTSE 250 company valued at around
£900m. He had a clear vision, inspired investor confidence and built a strong team, all of which transformed Assura into a
leading player in the sector.
