We Are BFA Finalists – Explore Our Path to Success!

We’re excited to announce that we are BFA finalists! The British Franchise Awards are an unforgettable celebration of the extraordinary achievements made by top UK franchises as they strive for excellence, reaching new heights year after year. This annual event presents a golden opportunity to recognise the remarkable accomplishments of franchises across the United Kingdom. From innovative leadership and vibrant company culture to lifestyle transformations, the awards encompass a wide array of categories, each offering businesses the chance to showcase their growth and innovation.

Why are the BFA Awards Significant?

The BFA is a prestigious, nationally recognised accolade that attracts entries from virtually all UK franchisors. It serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of business goals. Each year, leading franchisors inspire and challenge one another to leave an indelible mark on the business landscape. Every franchisor brings something unique to the table, whether it’s a fresh perspective or a groundbreaking action plan. This is precisely why we at Caremark eagerly anticipate the BFA every year; it fuels our passion for growth and success, reminding us that there’s always room for improvement.

Shortlisted for the Business Transformation Award

We’re thrilled to announce our nomination for the Business Transformation Award! Curious about the reasons behind this recognition?

In recent years, we’ve at Caremark Franchise Support Centre made important decisions, crafted a comprehensive, goal-oriented business strategy, and implemented significant organisational changes. We’ve taken bold steps aligned with our objectives, including:

1. In 2022, we revitalised the Caremark brand, introducing a more vibrant and approachable aesthetic. We also relaunched our website, enhancing user experience and developing a cohesive digital presence across our network. But our marketing initiatives are just beginning! We’ve launched a national marketing fund, set to activate in September 2024, which will dramatically boost awareness of the Caremark brand.
2. Beyond marketing, we’ve prioritised our staff’s needs and streamlined recruitment for our offices. Our innovative solution? E-bikes! This initiative not only enables care assistants without driving licences to work but also promotes eco-friendly practices.
3. We’ve revolutionised our internal communications strategy by introducing Connecteam, a business-oriented social media app. This platform aims to strengthen relationships with all our offices and their staff, ensuring superior communication standards and fostering a more efficient, highly trained team. The app even serves as a training tool for care assistants!

While we’ve implemented numerous other changes, these initiatives have sparked significant growth and transformation throughout our organisation.

Caremark East Riding: Our Franchisee Trailblazer!

Caremark East Riding consistently strives for excellence! They were among the first to embrace our e-bike initiative and the first to adopt the new Caremark branding. We’re rooting for them to maintain their pioneering status by clinching the Trailblazer award, for which they’ve been shortlisted.

What’s Next?

With our nomination for the Business Transformation Award, we’re eagerly anticipating the awards ceremony on 7th November. Stay tuned for updates as we share our journey towards this prestigious recognition!
