Entrepreneur Rises in Career to Open Network of Chiropractic Clinics

It has recently been announced that two Yorkshire entrepreneurs are opening a network of chiropractic clinics within the next five years, helping the nation with back problems.

Back pain is a growing problem in the UK, affecting up to 80% of the population and there is currently a shortage of chiropractor services to aid in this problem.

The new clinics will first be set up within town in the North, and will eventually create over 200 new jobs in the Freedom Back Clinics.

One of the entrepreneurs behind the project, Andrew Thirkill, left school with no qualifications and is now chairman of the chain.

Thirkill started work on a building site at the age of 17, later working as an advertising sales rep and the Yorkshire Post. And in the last 33 years of working experience Thirkill has rubbed shoulders with some of the most successful business minds.

Thirkill is also the chairman of service agency ATP Advertising & Marketing, founded in 1981. He holds a number of marketing consultancy roles, and is chairman of the Age Partnership financial services company.

Freedom Back Clinics’ first clinic will open this summer. The emphasis will be on customer satisfaction and eliminating back problems. Thirkill hopes his experience will help in running the chain of clinics.
