Richard Walters

Managing Director

Richard founded Walters Medical in 2009 after recognising that his extensive product knowledge, industry expertise and strong network of healthcare and medical industry contacts provided the perfect foundation to build a trusted and customer-focused medical supplies company.

With a background originally rooted in landscape gardening, Richard developed a strong work ethic and practical approach that continues to shape the business today.  His commitment to continuous improvement, exceptional customer service and finding effective healthcare solutions has played a key role in the company’s growth and reputation within the medical equipment and healthcare supplies sector.

Over many years in the industry, Richard has built long-standing relationships with healthcare professionals, customers, suppliers and industry partners throughout the UK and internationally.  Renowned for his outstanding product expertise and in-depth knowledge of medical equipment and healthcare products, Richard is often described as a “walking product dictionary” by colleagues and customers alike.

Richard’s collaborative approach and ability to identify practical solutions have helped Walters Medical become a respected name within the healthcare and medical supplies industry.  His leadership continues to drive the company’s focus on reliability, product quality, and first-class customer support.

Much of Richard’s business ethos and passion for the industry were inspired by his father and late grandfather, both of whom were highly regarded within the sector.  Their influence helped shape the values, ambition and customer-first philosophy that remain central to Walters Medical today.
