ince launching Henry has grown a sieable, profi table business providing much-needed uality home care to older people across North Kent and now employs


a team of 19 care professionals and two offi ce staff who support clients across the area, including with live-in care. Though launching his new business in an unusual year, amidst the CI-19 pandemic, Henry has been able to benefi t from growing demand in the home care sector and exceeded his target turnover in his fi rst year. Henry comments: “I had been looking at Home Instead’s franchise opportunity since 201, but it was never the right time until 2020. The pandemic has highlighted the benefi ts of keeping older people safe and well at home, and I launched my home care business at a time where the sector was growing and becoming more within the public eye. “The support and training I have received


as part of a franchise network, especially starting my business mid-pandemic was invaluable, guiding me through the ever- changing regulations in the sector. And it’s great to know this level of support is ongoing, guiding me throughout my journey.”

The father of four lives in nearby artford,


choosing to channel his passion for care into a business operating in his local community. His Nigerian heritage has inspired his journey. Coming from a culture where older relatives are cared for by family members, Henry has always been surrounded by caring people. Having launched his Home Instead


franchise after a long career in management for the NHS, Henry didn’t have direct experience in the care sector, but brought strong people skills and an understanding of the importance of health and social care in society. He comments: “I am really enjoying


growing my team and delivering a high- uality service.
