The Company
Established in 2001, Asteral was originally created as a healthcare business delivering asset finance solutions to the NHS. Asteral’s primary focus has since moved from financing medical equipment to the provision of medical equipment related services.
Through a partnership approach Asteral provides flexible, cost-effective solutions that benefit our clients and their patients. We have a pedigree of developing and implementing sustainable managed equipment programmes using innovation and diversity to ensure affordability, value for money and compliance assurance.
The Asteral team includes 85 clinical, technical and commercial specialists, with more than half former NHS employees.
