Radius Care Limited (NZX: RAD) is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew
Peskett as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective today, 1 February 2022.
Andrew brings extensive experience in the retirement village and aged care industry,
having previously been a senior executive at Metlifecare, a leading New Zealand

Services, Acting GM Operations and General Counsel & Company Secretary.
Andrew played a significant role in the transition of Metlifecare from listed to private

Lead in November 2021.
Radius Care’s Executive Chair and Managing Director, Brien Cree said “Andrew’s expertise
in retirement villages and proven record as an energetic and results-driven leader will be
invaluable to Radius Care as we execute our near-term opportunities and planned growth
strategy. He will lead key elements of this strategy including increased ownership of our
existing care homes and greenfield and brownfield projects to widen the offering to
Radius customers by providing more independent living Occupation Right Agreements
(ORAs). Another key element will be portfolio optimisation including increased premium
charging and the provision of ORAs on care suites.”
Andrew added “I am delighted to accept the role of CEO at Radius Care and am looking
forward to leading the company through its next phase of growth. Radius Care’s vision
statement is Exceptional People, Exceptional Care (EPEC). I absolutely support this
