Allied Healthcare International Inc. (NASDAQ: AHCI) (AIM: AHI), a leading provider of flexible healthcare staffing
services in the United Kingdom, has secured a three-year contract with the
London Borough of Richmond Council in the United Kingdom.
Under the new Richmond contract, Allied has the opportunity to deliver up
to 2,000 hours of home care services per week (104,000 hours per year) as
the only provider for the North Richmond and South Richmond Wards within
Richmond, a southwest borough of London with a population of 182,000. This
award, which was secured in May 2009 and is Allied's first contract with
Richmond, completed its implementation stage with the opening of a new
branch, London West.
Sandy Young, Chief Executive Officer of Allied, commented, "Our stated
objective of materially increasing our presence across London Boroughs is
yielding excellent results, as this win comes on the back of recent
long-term contract wins in Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Hounslow, Camden and
Islington. There remain a great number of opportunities to achieve
significant geographic infill and we will continue our concerted focus on
these efforts in key geographies."
