It has been an exciting few weeks for Home Care Preferred. Following the launch of the franchise division of the business there have been significant enquiries from around the country.

Nav Dhar, the Franchise Manager for Home Care Preferred, said: ‘Home Care Preferred provides a new concept in care. It is the country’s only care agency on the high street that provides a one stop shop for care. We believe that it is this concept that is attracting potential franchise owners to find out more about our model. There is a real interest in our business and what we offer is a unique business model with proven success”.

Home Care Preferred is looking to recruit new franchise owners who have a passion and interest in the care sector. Ken Waterhouse, the founder and Managing Director of Home Care Preferred said: ‘It is not easy to run your own care business. There are a lot of challenges, however as a Management Franchise, we can provide the guidance, training and support to ensure people can replicate the success and growth we have seen during the last four years. However, passion and interest in the sector is not something we can instil in our partners. This is the primary reason why, even after receiving such a great volume of enquiries since our recent launch, we are being selective about who we will work with. For us, it is essential we partner with the right people who can represent our brand in a positive way whilst experiencing the huge rewards that working in the care profession can bring’.

One of the main highlights of the franchise package is the availability of a wide range of territories available to potential franchise owners including affluent areas in London and the South-East.

Nav Dhar, Franchise Manager, explained, ‘We are very proud of Home Care Preferred and are looking forward to welcoming our new franchise partners who will help us spread this unique concept around the country. The care sector is not only a place to establish a successful business, it is also a vocation that guarantees personal satisfaction due its rewarding nature.’
