Our Team
Hugh Middleton
Hugh Middleton spent 15 years in asset management and on London trading floors, experiencing first-hand the pressures and routines that come with demanding corporate careers.
During that time, he saw two colleagues suffer heart attacks at a relatively young age. It made a lasting impression. Neither had ever had a meaningful conversation about their health or lifestyle, and neither saw it coming.
The experience changed the way Hugh thought about health in the workplace. Careers and performance are often managed with care and attention, while health is frequently overlooked until a problem arises.
That realisation became the foundation for City Health Partners.
Hugh went on to train as a coach and gained EMCC accreditation, developing a growing interest in combining coaching with better health data. Blood testing can provide a clearer picture of what is happening beneath the surface, while coaching creates the space and support needed to make meaningful, lasting changes.
Today, City Health Partners brings those two elements together: a clearer understanding of health, supported by practical guidance and accountability to help people make lasting improvements.
