New management team aims to make Nottingham firm biggest in the UK

Releaf, the Nottingham-based medical cannabis provider, has revealed an ambition to become the UK’s biggest company in the sector after unveiling a new management team, led by chief executive officer Tim Kirby.

Since its launch in February, Releaf has rapidly scaled. The company’s specialist doctors are currently seeing over 200 patients per day.

The new leadership team includes Oliver Soar (chief technology officer), Scott Stephen (chief financial officer), Peter Zownir (chief marketing officer), Graham Woodward (chief operations officer), Rupa Shah (chief legal & compliance officer), and Dr Susan Jane Clenton (medical director).

The team’s goal is to surpass the size of the current UK market for medical cannabis within the next 12 months.

“Our goal is to not only be the largest medical cannabis provider in the UK but also to set the standard for excellence in patient care,” said Kirby. “Our team’s focus on delivering the best outcomes for patients, combined with our commitment to scaling clinical excellence, has put us on a growth trajectory that is unprecedented in this industry.”

Releaf recently announced a multimillion-pound partnership with Surrey-based Glass Pharms to provide 145kg of medical grade cannabis.

“Our vision extends beyond growth—we aim to create a new benchmark for patient care in the medical cannabis sector,” added Kirby. “By harnessing the power of technology and building strong partnerships within the industry, Releaf is committed to transforming the lives of our patients, providing them with reliable, high-quality care that adapts to their needs.”
