We are thrilled to announce that we have won ‘Strategic Consultants of the Year’ at the HealthInvestor Awards 2026.
Established more than 20 years ago, The HealthInvestor Awards celebrate the very best in health and social care, across categories including Healthcare, Social Care, Advisory & Finance, Investment, Property and more.
This latest accolade marks the second time CF has achieved this title, having been named Strategic Consultants of the Year at the 2024 awards.
Supporting the independent sector has become a fundamental part of CF’s work. We support independent providers navigating complex commissioning landscapes, help private equity firms with commercial due diligence, advise life sciences companies on market access, and work with healthcare operators to develop growth strategies and new service lines.
Over the past year, that work has spanned continuing healthcare, neurodevelopmental services, mental health, diagnostic imaging, integrated wellness and value-based care.
Hannah Farrar, Co-Founder and CEO at CF says:
“This award means a great deal, because it marks real progress in extending CF’s core services across the whole health and care sector, alongside the work we already do with health system and life sciences clients.
We have seen a real step change in the work we’ve been able to deliver to clients in the independent sector over the last year. Our depth of focus on health is what continues to set us apart, and being recognised for it by an established industry programme is something the whole team can be immensely proud of.”
Vernon Baxter, CF Health Investing Lead, says:
“The HealthInvestor Awards are judged by true experts in the industry, so recognition here carries real weight across the sector. For us, it reflects the quality of work our team does day to day, helping investors and providers make sound decisions in a complex and fast-moving part of health and care. I am proud of what the team has built, and grateful to the clients who partner with us.”
