Ex-Alliance Healthcare sales director Ashley Kilgas joins Centred Solutions
Pharmacy hub and spoke specialists, Centred Solutions, has further strengthened its team with a key new appointment as the company expands its business.
Ashley Kilgas, formerly sales director at Alliance Healthcare, has joined the company’s executive team as chief commercial officer.
An expert in sales leadership and customer relations with vast experience working in the healthcare and pharmacy sector, Kilgas will be tasked with building a high-performing commercial team to drive value for customers.
Having worked closely with Centred Solutions on previous projects, Ashley already has an in-depth knowledge of the business.
Expressing his excitement about his new role, Ashley said: “Centred Solutions is a pharmacy technology and automation company, with a tremendous amount of opportunity in front of it. There is currently nobody in the market with the same knowledge, expertise or product offering around hub and spoke.
“While the company is still in its infancy, it is growing rapidly, and I am looking forward to working with the team to further strengthen and grow the business to support those working in pharmacy.”
The company has seen significant growth in its UK customer base in the past 18 months, with key players in the pharmacy market adopting its hub and spoke solutions, including hospital home care, care home pharmacies, and community pharmacies.
With new legislation expected to expand the use of hub and spoke, this customer base is anticipated to grow even further.
“It’s an incredibly exciting time to be joining the team as we look to support pharmacies in creating capacity to take on more clinical roles,” Ashley said.
“I’m looking forward to getting out and about over the coming weeks and months to meet our existing customers across the country. I’m also looking forward to connecting and working with other pharmacy businesses that are looking to transform their existing pharmacy dispensing processes so they can create efficiencies and spend more time on face-to-face patient care,” he added.
Todd Siegel, CEO of Centred Solutions, welcomed Ashley’s appointment, stating “I’m absolutely delighted to have Ashley join the team in this key position.
He comes to us with a strong background in executive sales leadership and fostering relationships which he has developed over many years working in UK pharmacy.”
Ashley will be responsible for managing the company’s sales and marketing team as they develop their global footprint.
