luebird Care celebrated its 10-year anniversary in October. The company has been caring for customers across the country since 2004 and building its
reputation as one of the most trusted home care providers in the UK. The anniversary coincided perfectly with the 2014 Bluebird Care annual franchise owner conference and the milestone was celebrated with a two-day event in Warwickshire, where franchise owners around the country were recognised for their exceptional customer service and quality of care. The prestigious Franchisee of the Year award was presented to father- and-son team Steve and Ben Davie of Bluebird Care Bromley for their exceptional customer service. Steve said: “Bluebird Care has
revolutionised the way care in the home is delivered across the country – not just to older people but those with specialist care needs, children and their families – and we’re proud to be part of that movement. “It’s incredibly important to us and all of our fantastic care workers here in Bromley
that we provide people with the highest possible quality of care in their own homes, and I am hugely proud of our staff and customers who’ve helped us to contribute to a decade of success at Bluebird Care.” With almost 200 offices across the UK,
providing over 20,000 care visits each day, Bluebird Care staff deliver the highest quality home care and the company recently won the Skillsoft Inspire Award for its new e-learning training programme for care workers. The award for Best Compliance Initiative comes as a result of Bluebird Care’s continued investment in training and support for its staff, including implementing a new e-learning system providing new recruits and for current staff with a flexible and blended approach to learning that underpins the first-rate service they deliver. The e-learning programme has also been commended by the UK’s industry regulators. The company’s committed and enthusiastic franchise owners have been instrumental in helping Bluebird Care to establish itself as one of the fastest-growing home care franchise

companies in the UK. Commenting, Bluebird Care chief operating officer Simon Dalziel said: “Bluebird Care has been delivering high- quality care to thousands of customers at home for over a decade, and I’m thrilled to recognise the hard work that our franchise owners have been doing across the network. They provide the highest standards of care to our customers and are leading the field in delivering a service that goes above and beyond on every single visit.” “As the largest provider of privately funded care in the UK, Bluebird Care go into this second decade determined to maintain their market-leading status, excited by the opportunity that franchise owners have to grow successful and profitable businesses, whilst providing a vital service to their community.” n
