Connect Yorkshire member Montrose Health Group, a healthcare provider specialising in neurodiversity, mental health and addiction has almost doubled in size over the last year.
Montrose Health Group, headquartered in Sheffield, has reported significant growth over the past 12 months following the launch of its dedicated ADHD and Autism service and an expansion of its clinical and operational team.
The business has opened an additional Sheffield clinic and operational hub, and recruited 15 new members of staff including a finance manager, clinic operations team, medical director, clinical director along with specialist assessors and administrators.
It has supported more than 200 clients through its ADHD and autism service in its first nine months, and now has the capacity to treat 600 patients per month.
The business plans to grow further over the next 18 months and has ambitions to expand to around 100 employees nationally as part of a wider strategy to establish regional assessment centres and increase access to neurodiversity support across the country.
In April 2026, Montrose secured a Right to Choose contract with South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board to deliver ADHD and autism assessments and treatment for children aged six and over, alongside adult services.
Founder and CEO Jonathan Edgeley, said: “We’ve seen huge growth because demand is increasing at a rate that support simply isn’t keeping pace with.
“There is more awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity than ever before, which is positive, but awareness alone doesn’t equal access.
“People still face long waiting lists, inconsistent pathways and often mixed messages about where to turn.
“There’s also a real need to improve understanding and support in workplaces and help employers make the right reasonable adjustments for neurodiverse individuals.”
Montrose originally launched after identifying a direct correlation between addiction and ADHD within clients accessing addiction and mental health support.
The business operates across private ADHD and autism assessment services, residential addiction and mental health treatment and wider outpatient mental health support.
Edgeley, who was diagnosed with ADHD later in life at the age of 48 and has spoken publicly about recovery and mental health following more than 12 years of sobriety, said he believes the next challenge lies beyond diagnosis.
He added: “There’s still a huge amount of misunderstanding around neurodiversity. One of the biggest risks is people assuming diagnosis is the finish line when actually it should be the beginning of support.
“While more individuals are now being assessed, there also needs to be wider understanding from employers, families and communities to continually support positive wellbeing.
“This is about creating something that genuinely changes outcomes in the lives of our patients, their families and the community.
“We want to help raise standards, reduce waiting times and make sure people receive support that is compassionate, evidence based and built around people as individuals. The demand is there. Our job now is making sure the support exists too.”
