Joining a franchise is a big decision. You’ll want to be sure you’re investing in a brand which can really deliver. This is especially true in the care sector, where you not only want to be part of a proven business which can help you enjoy a good return on your investment, but also one which can truly make a difference to your local community.
Well, with these latest slew of awards, the Radfield Home Care franchise is proving it can do all of that, and more!
Jackie and Mark Gillan from Radfield Home Care in Wakefield & Huddersfield were named as Specialist Care Expertise Category winners at the recent 2025 Home Care Awards. Held every year to celebrate the best in local care provision, this highly competitive category is only awarded to those who really excel at the service they provide and contribute to raising the bar for the standard of care everywhere.
Incredibly, this was just the first of their highly prestigious accolades this year. At the Great British Care Awards, a key member of their team, Claire Walker was named National Care Co-ordinator of the Year! A truly stunning result, one which merited special mention from the judges:
“The judges were thoroughly impressed by your dedication and commitment to achieving the best outcomes for the individuals you support. Your genuine appreciation for your team was also evident, highlighting your strong leadership and respect for those you work with. We were particularly impressed by your proactive approach of sending rotas to clients in advance, ensuring they know exactly who will be supporting them. This thoughtful touch reflects your exceptional attention to detail and your desire to provide the highest level of care and reassurance to those you serve.”
We already mention this when the rankings were announced at the end of 2024, but the official awards ceremony was last week. It’s really not possible to overstate just what a huge deal this is. By being named #39 out of the 100 best franchises in the UK, they are showing that the franchise stands head and shoulders above the 1000+ franchise opportunities currently available.
Not only that, but this was the 8th consecutive year they had been included in this very exclusive list, and they were the fifth-highest home care provider overall.
The evening also involved a surprise extra award for the team:
It wasn’t a win this time, but even to be nominated for this especially coveted award is a major victory in itself. Only franchises who consistently provide a highly supportive and inclusive culture and prioritises the well-being of its partners, professional teams, and customers are even considered for this accolade.
Radfield Home Care’s deep rooted commitment to human resources, mental health support, and diversity is at the heart of their belief that exceptional care can only be delivered by a happy, healthy, and motivated workforce.
This triple whammy of fantastic awards proves that Radfield Home Care really excels as a business on both a local and national scale, but also as a franchise. From the grass roots of the quality care they offer to every service user, right up to the their culture of empowerment and excellence in helping their franchise partners succeed, this is a brand who knows exactly what it takes to transform lives for the better.
