Mr Nick Sanderson | Chief Executive Officer
Audley Retirement Villages Ltd

Nick Sanderson is Chief Executive Officer of Audley Court, a joint-venture between his own Audley Court and Moorfield PLC. In the 1980’s, he founded, operated and then sold Beaumont Healthcare, one of the first corporate providers of private pay nursing care homes. In 1986, that company created close care housing, which offered independent living to older people in their own homes adjacent to a Beaumont care home. After 5 years of public-private partnerships in the early nineties, he created Audley Court to develop private retirement villages. Retirement villages offer independent living to older people in purchased homes with flexible care and support to allow them to stay in place throughout their life. The first two award winning schemes in Tunbridge Wells and Harrogate have been completed and operated for several years. In 2008, he formed a partnership with Moorfield PLC to develop a nationwide portfolio of villages. Audley Court now has seven schemes in its programme with nearly 1,000 units and a value of £350 million and is actively seeking new opportunities. Nick is also Chairman of ARVOUK, the Association of Retirement Village Operators in the UK.
