In 2016 the company was reacquired and rebranded as Kuro Health with Harry as Chairman. Harry’s other lifelong interests are music and theatre. For several years he played the piano professionally, including television and theatre, which subsequently led on to after-dinner speaking. He is a regular writer, broadcaster, and lecturer. In recent years he has performed ‘Dial Medicine for Murder’ at the Edinburgh Festival followed by a nationwide tour. Harry was Chair of Lancing College between 2009 - 2019.
