    A home care provider has opened a new regional office in Boroughbridge.

    Vermuyden Care, which employs about 50 staff, has made the grade two listed Ornhams Hall its base for North Yorkshire.

    The company, which provides domiciliary care, is recruiting local staff after moving into the area.

    Gary Stapleton, co-founder and managing director of Vermuyden Care, said the company aimed to be the 'M&S of care' by employing local staff on high wages rather than relying on agency staff.

    He said:

    "Most care companies pay peanuts. Our starting salary is £15 an hour, which works out at £31,000 on a 40-hour week."


    The Boroughbridge office will handle home care services in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Boroughbridge, Ripon, Thirsk and Easingwold area.

    Emma Barnes has been appointed care director by the company, which was founded four years ago and is named after Cornelius Vermuyden, the Dutch engineer who drained the Fens.
