William is a former NHS and Social Care Manager. He has extensive experience of managing and delivering high quality health services to the public. Locally, he was responsible for the joint delivery of Health and Social Care services for Adults in Exeter, Sidmouth, Seaton and Axminster. William has achieved a Masters Degree in Health Care Management (University of Birmingham), gained whilst on the highly competitive NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme.

William is driven by a desire to provide responsive high quality care services. He is particularly keen to provide individualised services that enrich the lives of those receiving them.

Sara is a Business graduate (Loughborough). Her working career started in Business Management for British Airways (she was fortunate enough to fly Concorde to New York!!). Locally Sara has worked for NHS Devon and the local Stroke Network, based at the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust. She also managed the South West NHS Neonatal Networks which covered the Neonatal units from Gloucester to Lands End. Sara has always had a passion for the standards of care delivered to older people.

For a number of her adult years, Sara was a care worker supporting older people and so has "hands on" experience of care. Given her experience as a care worker, she has uncompromising standards in the area of customer care. Sara is an avid reader and loves walking, particularly on the "High Moors" with William and their dogs 'Poppy' and 'Ruby'.
