Essentia Information

We are Essentia. Experts in our fields, we deliver innovative solutions to help public sector clients around the world improve their efficiency and effectiveness. We combine commercial focus with NHS values. We are unique. Our services include Strategic Estate Development, Healthcare Planning, Property Consultancy, Capital Development, Sustainability, Procurement, Technology, and Interim Management Resourcing. Essentia started life as an in-house directorate of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, designing, building and maintaining healthcare infrastructure, with services ranging from catering, cleaning and portering to building, engineering and sterile services. 1,800 people still work for this ‘core’ part of Essentia, as employees of the NHS. In 2013, Essentia Trading Limited was launched as Essentia’s commercial arm. We are a subsidiary business wholly owned by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and all our profits are reinvested into the Trust. We operate as a separate limited liability company, but we remain proudly “by the NHS, for the NHS”. Our 50 employees provide consultancy services, working with clients on strategy and estate development, and helping them to become more efficient and more effective. We are a team of experts, with a vast knowledge and experience gained from across the public and private sectors. What unites us is a relentless drive for innovation and excellence, and the belief in an integrated approach to strategic estate development.
