Home care provider SureCare has set its sights on adding 30 new franchises as it celebrates its 30^th anniversary.

Originally founded in 1994 by another husband-and-wife team, John and Gill Ford, to provide care for the elderly in the Chester area, today’s UK-wide business, run by managing director Gary Farrer and wife Stephanie, offers a complete range of home care services, including childcare, companionship care, pet care, cleaning, shopping calls and handyman work.

Farrer said: “None of our success would have been possible without the support of a fantastic head office team and the passion and dedication of our franchisees and their teams who are committed to providing person-centred care of the highest possible quality.

“There are still many parts of the UK that do not have a SureCare franchise including Wales and Northern Ireland, but we expect this to change in the near future.

“We are targeting 30 new franchises in our 30^th anniversary year and see no reason why we can’t become a 150-franchise company in the next two years.”

Original owner John Ford said: “Gill and I are delighted that the SureCare brand is still going strong after 30 years and that Gary, Josh and the rest of the team remain as passionate about the importance of delivering person-centred care as we did when we launched the business in 1994.”
