A care firm that operates across the Harrogate district has won a seven-year contract worth £28 million to provide domiciliary care on behalf of Sheffield City Council
Springfield Homecare provides care to people who want to keep living in their own homes.
It is part of Springfield Healthcare Group, which operates across Yorkshire and the rest of northern England.
Besides its domiciliary care business, it operates seven care homes including Harcourt Gardens in Harrogate.
Graeme Lee, the group founder and chief executive, said he was delighted with the award of such a major contract. Mr Lee, who lives in Harrogate, said:
“We want Springfield to be the best regional provider of care in Yorkshire and the north-east.”
North Yorkshire Council this month approved Springfield Healthcare’s planning application to convert the grade two listed Grove House into a luxury care home.
Harrogate business support groups to resume in January
New support groups for businesses in the Harrogate district are set to start in January.
The York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub will be hosting peer-to-peer support groups aimed at helping firms grow.
The programme, which is facilitated by Next Step, runs weekly for six weeks and comprises three cohorts, based in either Harrogate or Ripon.
In addition, there is one hour of one to one discussion in advance of the course to assess the business’s needs and two hours of one to one bespoke support.
For more information on the support groups and to apply, visit the York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub website here.
