Caremark Thanet wins the prestigious Kent award
We are proud to announce we have won a KEIBA (Kent Excellence in Business Awards) award for ‘Valuing Disability Business of the Year’ 2021.
Jemma Nimmo Director of Business Development and Marketing for Caremark Thanet, Dover and Canterbury was overwhelmed by the news and stated, ‘We are absolutely delighted to receive the news of our success. As Disability Confident Leaders we have a very inclusive recruitment approach. It is important each member of our team feels supported and valued.’
She went on to say: ‘It has been a busy month, having won ‘Business of the Week’ and ‘Business of the Month’ through Academy FM’s ‘Business Watch’ scheme. Winning a KEIBA award is the icing on the cake. We are so pleased we have received recognition for how much we value disability in our business at Caremark.’
After a month of waiting while the judges deliberated, the KEIBA (Kent Excellence in Business Awards) 2021 winners were announced in the papers across Kent on 20th October, in a special supplement. Judges Matt Clifton (Chief Executive, Bemix) and Alicia Moyles (Head of Service, The Education People) stated while talking of the award: “Caremark (Thanet) were clear winners with outstanding commercial impact through valuing disabled staff and customers. Disabled carers thrive in this supportive environment and go above and beyond for the business. Mark (Bailey who is pictured), for example developed Parkinson’s after joining Caremark, and was supported to become a Parkinson’s UK Ambassador.”
Caremark Thanet Managing Director Garry Costain had this to say: ‘It is so nice to be recognised for what we have achieved, and we are really proud of our team.’

They continue to build a diverse workforce reflecting the community. They encourage staff to progress and use the full extent of their talents and resources.
