Optima Health has reported a 17% rise in half-year revenue to £59 million for the six months to the 30th September. 

The growth was supported by new contract wins, strong demand for workplace health services and two strategic acquisitions that have expanded its reach both in the UK and internationally.

The Glasgow-based company provides occupational health, wellbeing and employee assistance services to public and private sector clients, using digital platforms to deliver health assessments, case management and mental wellbeing support at scale. 

In April, it completed the acquisition of Cognate Health in Ireland for up to €9m, marking its first move outside the UK. 

The business has since been rebranded as Optima Health Ireland, allowing the company to serve multinational clients with operations across both countries. 

It also acquired Care first, a provider of Employee Assistance Programmes from the Priory Group, expected to add around £3.7m in annual revenue.

Optima is also mobilising its £210m contract to deliver medical assessment services to the UK Armed Forces and has begun investing in new technology to enhance its platform, improve customer experience and increase operating margins.
