Right at Home are celebrating two franchisees who have been shortlisted for the bfa franchisee awards; Almas Adam for Young Franchisee of the Year, and Andrew Davis for Customer Focus Franchisee.

The bfa have just announced the finalists for this year’s franchisees awards and Right at Home are celebrating the achievements of two of their franchisees who have made in into the shortlist in their respective categories!

Young franchisee of the Year – Almas Adam

Almas, 27, has run his Right at Home Loughton homecare business for three years, employing 40 people and providing quality care for 60 clients. He has come a long way from the nervous teenager who was crippled by shyness and his success to date has opened the door to far greater business ambition – a fantastic example of franchising empowering young people to reach their true potential.

Franchising allowed Almas to overcome his insecurities, whilst gaining a strong leadership foundation as he builds a business he is passionate about in the fast-growing homecare sector.

Within his first year, Right at Home Loughton was awarded the Right at Home ‘Right Start’ award for having the best start among Right at Home franchisees who began in the same year. And in 2017, Almas was a finalist in the innovation category at the national British Care Awards.

But as with any business, the proof of success lies in what his clients have to say. Based on independent client feedback, Right at Home Loughton is consistently awarded 9.9/10 and at their first CQC inspection in 2018, they achieved an ‘Outstanding’ rating in ‘Well-Led’, with an overall ‘Good’ rating.

Having made such a promising start, we think Almas has a great future ahead of him in franchising and are so proud of his achievement to be shortlisted as one of the bfa Young Franchisee of the Year finalists for 2018.

Customer focus franchisee of the year – Andrew Davis

Andrew left the army in May 2012, having served 17 years as a Royal Artillery Officer, and with a desire to want to continue to give back to the community, he established Right at Home Bournemouth within a few months. In 2016, Andrew purchased a second Right at Home territory in Poole.

Exemplifying Right at Home’s values, Andrew and his team have earned a first-class reputation, based on the person-centred and community-focused care they offer. This translates into a responsibility to improve the quality of life for all their Clients, wherever they can.

This strategy Andrew has instilled in his team has resulted in consistently high client scores and equally impressive care giver satisfaction results, with Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole one of three Right at Home offices named as a 5 Star Best Employer in Care by smith+henderson.

Andrew is hoping to add to his recent personal achievement, having won the McDonald’s Service Leaver Franchisee of the Year at the BSi Resettlement Awards in 2017. His dedication to his clients gives them a sense of security and gives him the satisfaction of building a business that reaches into the heart of his local community.

Congratulations Andrew! The commitment you show to your clients is world class, and we are keeping everything crossed for your win!
