Barchester has appointed Willie Macdiarmid to interim chief executive following the retirement of Mike Parsons. Baroness Margaret Ford, chairman at Barchester Healthcare said: We are naturally pleased to have attracted a number of high calibre candidates, fitting with our focus on high quality care. Barchester Healthcare has recently appointed Willie MacDiarmid as interim CEO to enable the Board to take time to complete its search for the permanent CEO.
