Clive Henry Group backs digital healthcare platform, to transform care

A digital healthcare platform has secured backing from the founders of consultancy firm Clive Henry Group to support its ambitious growth plans and transform how home care is delivered.
The platform, ilarna, has also partnered with Clive Henry Group and will work closely with founders Sam Alsop-Hall and Liam Molesworth. This partnership aims to expand technology-enabled community services, easing the burden on NHS Trusts by improving patient flow and reducing avoidable hospital admissions.
Launched in 2021, ilarna uses digital technology to bring care closer to home, leveraging a unique AI-powered matching system to pair care professionals with individuals in need of services such as dementia care, palliative care, and personal care. Over the last three years, it has provided personalised home care solutions to over 1,000 individuals, empowering them to choose their care provider while improving outcomes for patients and families.
The Clive Henry Group, established in 2022, offers consultancy, recruitment, and technology solutions to drive real change in health and care delivery. By 2024, it was recognised as the fastest-growing private company in the West Midlands and the second fastest in the UK by The Sunday Times 100.
Alex Moran, CEO of ilarna said: “We are delighted to launch our partnership with Clive Henry Group and welcome the investment from Sam and Liam. We have made significant progress in the last four years to build a technology-enabled healthcare service which is well-positioned to support the NHS in its mission to bring care closer to home and, at the same time, achieve our goal of improving how carers are rewarded for their work. The support from Sam, Liam, and their team will help us to accelerate our journey and we are excited about working in partnership with them.”
Sam Alsop-Hall, chief strategy officer of Clive Henry Group added: “ilarna is one of the most exciting businesses we’ve seen in the home care space. Their approach to home care delivery through innovative digital technology is exactly what the NHS needs right now. They provide a service that is flexible, personalised, and impactful and helps address some of the fundamental issues the sector is facing. We’re thrilled to support Alex and his team as they continue their growth journey and change lives for the better.”
