The home care agency established in Shrewsbury by brother and sister team, Alex Green and Dr Hannah Mackechnie over 10 years ago, has now 13 franchise offices across the UK with many more in the pipeline.

The home care specialises in companionship, care and wellbeing services to enrich lives and enable independence at home for older people.

In order to be shortlisted for the award, Radfield Home Care’s franchise model went through rigorous rounds of judging, questions and answers to be narrowed down to one of three finalists.

Founder and franchisor, Dr Hannah MacKechnie said: “I’m so proud that Radfield has been recognised at the UK’s most prestigious franchising awards.

"When we began franchising just two and a half years ago, we knew we had spent the time over the past eight years to develop a strong, rewarding and successful opportunity for franchise partners – but this recognition is the icing on the cake and acts as a seal of approval for our current and future franchise partners.

'The company started franchising in 2016 and has scaled up with the customer at heart'

“This would not have been possible without our fantastic support team that help make our franchise partners’ goals a reality. They are all experts in their field and have the experience, knowledge and expertise to guide our franchise partners to success. With this prestigious industry award and on-going investment into developing our services, we only look forward to supporting more franchise partners in the coming months!”

HSBC’s head of franchising and awards judge, Andrew Brattesani called Radfield Home Care "a great example of showing how a business can scale and help the community. Run for over 30 years as a small business before becoming a franchise, the company started franchising in 2016 and has scaled up with the customer at heart.”
