Home care company Right at Home’s Guildford and Farnham franchise is expanding the area it serves following the acquisition of the Camberley and Woking branch.

Right at Home Guildford and Farnham (GF) owner Alastair Shanks has bought the Camberley and Woking home care franchise from former managing director Bob Thornton, taking the number of territories under his portfolio to three.

Shanks started the Right at Home GF franchise in 2012 and later opened more offices to serve residents in Alton and Bordon and Twickenham and Richmond. He estimates that he and his team have provided around 720,000 hours of care, helping approximately 1,600 people to live well and independently in their own homes over the last 12 years.

Shanks said: “My senior team and I are very much looking forward to supporting the Camberley team to expand further and to offer some of the community events we run in other parts of our territory, like Singing for the Mind.”
