Priory Group appoints CFO

Priory Group has appointed Jim Lee as chief financial officer.

Lee has held senior finance roles at Median-owned Priory since joining the mental health provider in 2011. Initially appointed as group tax director, he has served as UK finance director since 2021.

Before joining Priory, he spent more than a decade at Deloitte, where he qualified as a chartered accountant and chartered tax adviser. He specialised in corporate tax and transaction support, including work in the healthcare sector.

Commenting on his appointment, priory CEO Rebekah Cresswell said Lee would bring his deep understanding of the business to the role, alongside significant financial and operational expertise.

‘As we continue to navigate a challenging healthcare landscape and expand our Adult Care and Restore services, Jim’s leadership will be invaluable in helping us deliver our strategic priorities while maintaining a strong focus on quality, outcomes and long-term sustainability,’ she added.
