About us

Red Circle was founded and is led by James Wilson and Bruce Finnamore two well known and respected healthcare advisors. 


James and Bruce are supported by a dedicated and highly experienced team of consultants, analysts and project managers with significant experience of working with the NHS and commercial health sectors. 


Building on our many years of experience of providing strategic and financial advisory services to NHS organisations, we're looking to spread good practice and actionable insights amongst trusts across the UK.

Finnamore was acquired by GE Healthcare in 2014 to become GE Healthcare Finnamore.  At that point Bruce semi-retired, but continues to provide high-level consultancy support to a number of long term NHS clients.
