About

In 2015, Simon, Nicholas and George incubated the concept of what is now SynigeMedX. The name Synige originates from the three partners first names also…. because it sounded cool and smart!
The executive management model SynigeMedX has chosen, is of a proactive board that speaks as one voice and is a good model because the CEO and the board are on the same page and speak with a single voice. This model is proactive in taking advantage of emerging opportunities and is especially valuable in an entrepreneurial business such as ours.

The skills of our management team have been developed with over 35 years’ experience in the provision of medical clinics, services and support in:

  • Ambulance Operations in Urban, Peri-Urban and rural environments (EU and SADC)
  • Fixed and Rotary Wing Air Ambulance Operations (US, EU, North Africa and SADC)
