Phil Burgan (born 6 December 1951) is the founder and CEO of Maria Mallaband Care Group Ltd, a care home company he named after his late grandmother.[1]
Burgan was born in Sheffield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England to Harry (an engineer) and Lilian (a dress maker). He was educated at Thornbridge Grammar School, leaving with 7 O-levels and 3 A-levels to study pharmacy at the University of Bradford, graduating with a 2:1 in 1973.
Business career
Burgan completed his training to become a pharmacist before becoming a branch manager for a small chain of pharmacies called W. Jamieson Ltd. in 1976. It was here that Burgan developed his management and business skills, gaining experience in accounting, marketing, retailing and finance.
In 1982 he was appointed the managing director of a small company called LICS Ltd. with stores in West Yorkshire, and managed to turn a £25,000 loss-making company into a £200,000 profitable business in just three years. After this Burgan was head-hunted to become the Managing Director of Coopers Chemists in 1985 where head gained experience in raising finance and dealing with merchant bankers.
In 1986 Burgan started his own chemist business; Medimart Ltd. which grew to include 38 branches across Yorkshire by the time Burgan sold the company in 1995.
Burgan[2] funded Maria Mallaband Nursing Homes Ltd. in 1996[3] and the company has been growing organically and by acquisitions[4] ever since to become one of the biggest care home providers in the UK.
