I have been the CEO of 1st Homecare since 2012. After over 30 years in various different business settings I believe that the consistent themes in any successful business are the delivery of a first class service to clients and a fair and consistent approach to recruiting and retaining the best staff and this is what I try to bring to 1st Homecare. I live near Aylesbury with my wife Annabella and our two young children.

I have worked in the care world for the past 25 years and was manager of the Kings Langley branch since 1st Homecare took it over from Ainsworth Care. I accepted a newly created role as Group Compliance Lead in spring 2023, and I now work across the whole of the 1st Homecare Group helping to ensure the quality of our care recording and reporting and our compliance with standards, guidelines and legislation.

I joined 1st Homecare in the summer of 2023 after a successful career as Care Assessment Manager at a large London Live-In care provider. I have many years of experience working in the social care sector and was awarded ‘Care Assessor of the Year’ at the prestigious Great British Care Awards. I now manage the Live-In Care Team ensuring clients are cared for to the highest standards.

I started with the company in 2010 as Assistant Co-Ordinator and have since covered all other office-based roles, as well as care duties and on call duties. I have two young boys who take up much of my spare time, although I somehow find time to play football at my local club too.
I joined the company back in 1997 making me one of the longest serving 1st Homecare employees. I took time out to raise my children and rejoined in 2009, as I loved being part of the team. After various positions within the company I was promoted to Deputy Manager before being made Branch Manager at Kings Langley in 2023 and then additionally Branch Manager of the Leighton Buzzard branch in July 2024.
