Home Instead welcomes 200th franchise owner
Published: 21 May 2019
Home Instead Senior Care has held a gathering at Chester Cathedral to celebrate the opening of its 200th UK office, located in Dorchester, and to welcome new franchisee Romesh Dharmasingham.
Guests at the event included Martin Jones, managing director of Home Instead, Dave Banark, COO of Home Instead US and Canada, and Pip Wilkins, the CEO of the British Franchise Association.
Romesh says: “It is truly an honour to open the 200th office of this fine organisation. This is an inspirational business that is making such a difference to the lives of older people and I look forward to contributing to its future success.”
Ruth Brown, head of business development at Home Instead, says: “Through our highly successful, proven franchise model, we are enabling the franchisees joining our network to make a change in their lives.
“In turn, they are making a huge difference to the lives of thousands of older people and are making a real impact in their local communities.”
Pip adds: “Huge congratulations to Home Instead on reaching such an impressive milestone.
“Sometimes, people who are involved in strong, successful franchise systems don’t always realise what an inspiration and example they really are. When you see a business that has an eye on the future as well as the present, never standing still and, above all, franchisor and franchisees working together for the good of the whole network, it truly is a great example of how franchising should be done!”
