Anouska Huggins joins Archus to lead financial advisory work
Archus is delighted to announce that Anouska Huggins has joined the firm to lead the firm’s financial advisory offering. This new advisory service will support clients to robustly assess value for money and affordability as the healthcare industry responds to the urgent demands of Covid-19 and securing the best return for public investments.
Anouska brings wide-ranging financial analysis, modelling, business case and strategic planning experience across the health sector and wider social infrastructure.
Comfortable developing a broad range of business cases for health, social care and local government organisations in line with current HM Treasury Green Book and relevant government guidance, Anouska also brings a deep understanding of the complexities of large-scale capital programmes in the NHS.
In particular, Anouska brings a passion for engaging all stakeholders, appraising options and linking back to the case for change, providing a ‘golden thread’ that runs through the entire business case.
Anouska is a qualified accountant with a background in managing both finance and people within a hospital environment and management consultancy across healthcare and local government.
We’re delighted to welcome Anouska and grow our finance advisory offering. As the NHS celebrates its 72nd birthday, ongoing challenges around funding, staffing, increasing inequalities and the pressures of a growing and ageing population are compounded by the urgent demands of the Covid-19 pandemic and resetting post-pandemic. It is more critical than ever that projects make best use of public funds and deliver sustainable outcomes.
Richard Darch, Chief Executive
I’m excited to be joining one of the UK’s only specialist healthcare infrastructure teams, dedicated to delivering value to our clients and the public purse. I’ve enjoyed starting to work closely with our clients already. At the heart of every investment decision are crucial questions about the value for money and affordability of proposals. Strong relationships, access to the right data and presenting results in an accessible way are all key to answering these, allowing stakeholders to fully own and understand the resulting analysis, setting the groundwork for successful transformation.
