Last week, we hosted our annual conference on the banks of the river Thames at The Swan at Streatley. We gathered together our care teams from across the UK to celebrate a successful year, welcome new franchise partners, network, learn and share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the keynote speakers was Neil Eastwood from Care Friends<\/a>, a recruitment and retention specialist and author of \u2018Saving Social Care<\/a>\u2019 who delivered an engaging presentation packed full of\u00a0 practical, actionable advice on candidate attraction and retention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The day was also an opportunity to welcome four new franchise partners who will be covering large regions of the South of the UK including Kent, Sussex, Bedford and Epsom, taking the franchise to an impressive 20 branches across the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also recognised the dedication and hard work across the board with an annual awards ceremony, honouring the care teams across the expanding network.<\/span><\/p>\n

Announcing the winners were Co-Founders Ben Ashton and Darius Mitkus, along with Operations Director, Zoe Kelly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting on the day, Ben Ashton said; \u201cSpending the day with our inspirational franchise partners was such an honour. The commitment shown to delivering truly transformational partnership-led care leaves us very excited about what\u2019s to come from this special network.\u201d<\/p>\n
