Patrick Sanford

The Why:
I’ve spent my entire working life in smaller, family-run businesses, which taught me a fundamental truth: it’s all about the people. I’ve learned that what matters most to one person might be completely different for another, and truly understanding that is everything. I’ve backed up that philosophy with a wealth of experience looking after clients—first during my time at a Sussex bakery, and now across the three physiotherapy clinics I help run.

The Reassurance:
As the Head of Operations, I am essentially the Chandler Bing of the company. My role is entirely all-encompassing; if it’s non-clinical, I’m either doing it or organising it. You can rest assured that the background machinery is always running smoothly so our clinical team can focus entirely on you.

The Real Me:
Family and friends—it’s that simple. Spending quality time with them is what keeps I love, whether that’s a weekend away, catching up over a drink, heading out for a walk, or getting out on the bike.

Quick-Fire Q&A:

• Coffee Order: Coffee Order? Let’s broaden that to “Drinks Order”! Everything has its time and place: tea before work, coffee during the day, and a cold beer after hours (strictly not on a school night, of course).
• Sunday Morning: You’ll usually find me taking our dog, Nellie, for a walk on the beach at Bracklesham, or keeping an eye on the clinic pools, to ensure they are running smoothly.
• Guilty Pleasure: Music. If my Spotify account ever got deleted, I would be absolutely inconsolable. My “Wrapped” summary at the end of the year is always a fun read, but there is one constant … Prince.
