Radfield Home Care signs three franchisees in quick succession


n Radfield Home Care is celebrating after signing three new franchisees to its network in a short amount of time.


The company, which provides care services to the elderly, received a large amount of interest in its franchise model after showcasing its brand at The National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC in BIrmingham. As a result, it has welcomed three new franchisees, meaning the brand will reach new territories in Herefordshire, Sussex and Essex.


These will be in addition to four company-owned branches in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Cheshire. Cousins Lisa and Jennie, new franchisees for Havering and Brentwood, Essex, decided to go into business together. Jennie says: “We can’t wait to meet people out and about in the Havering and Brentwood communities and start building a great big, happy family.” Samuel Holmes, the most recent franchisee, plans to launch his Radfield Home Care franchise in Hastings and Rother, East Sussex, in July. After graduating university, Samuel had a fulfilling career as a social worker for over 15 years, supporting adults with a variety of complex health and social care needs. Wanting to


work with an organisation that shared his values, he researched several franchise opportunities before coming across Radfield Home Care.


Samuel says: “Relationships are key to any business, and I have great admiration and respect for what Radfield Home Care stands for and represents, and the focus it places on keeping relationships at the heart of everything they do. “With the support of the owners Hannah and Alex, I have the confidence to start this exciting franchise. The opportunity will also allow me to work in my home county and for our children to attend a familiar village school. I’m looking forward to a healthy and productive work-life balance, together with putting something quite special back into the community I grew up in.” Radfield Home Care owner and director Dr Hannah MacKechnie adds: “We are delighted to be welcoming Samuel to the Radfield family as he sets up his Radfield Home Care branch. We will be with him every step of the way and we are really looking forward to welcoming new clients and carers in East Sussex.” Elsewhere, Kiain McKean, the new franchisee for Radfield Home Care in Herefordshire and South Shropshire, is in the process of completing his Care Quality


Commission registration and is busy preparing his new office in Ledbury. Kiain has over 26 years’ experience in the healthcare sector and has wanted to own his own homecare company for many years. He was especially inspired after his grandmother experienced poor-quality care in her own home.


He says: “Radfield Home Care’s core values mean a lot to me and is something that I am very passionate about – we are family, we are proud to care and we are on your side. These values are so important, not only to our staff for making them feel valued and part of a team and to the clients we care for, but also to me as a franchisee. I felt straight away that Radfield Home Care was the franchise for me.”
