Radfield Home Care adds two new franchises to its network

Radfield Home Care has added two new franchises to its growing network of homecare business owners.

Father-and-son team Jonathan and Matthew Nutting will operate a new franchise in Harrogate, while Shamsah Lalji will be operating in London’s Kingston and Richmond territories.

Shamsah, Jonathan and Matthew all completed their first week of franchise training together at Radfield Home Care’s national office, focusing on marketing, business ownership and the homecare industry. They will now look to complete their second week of training, which focuses on operations, software and compliance, and launch their new branches shortly after.

Shamsah, who worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over a decade, wanted to manage her own business so that she could give back to the community in a meaningful way.

She says: "I grew up in a household living with my grandmother and an aunt who has certain physical disabilities. I witnessed the importance of carers first hand and the impact they had on my entire family’s quality of life and peace of mind.

"I knew that I wanted to launch a homecare business and provide high-quality care to those in need, helping them to live safer, happier and more fulfilling lives in their own home."

With a career as an occupational therapist within the NHS, Matthew was well aware of the benefits a homecare service could bring to his community’s local residents.

He says: "Both my wife and I have always worked within healthcare, so we have a lot of knowledge of the homecare sector. In addition, my father, Jonathan, has worked in various large organisations in a range of senior finance roles, so our combined skills will help us grow a sustainable business while keeping our clients at the centre of what we do."
