In-home care franchise Visiting Angels has wrapped up another year with a grand celebration of network-wide achievements. While franchisees, carers and the head office team were invited to reflect on a remarkable 2024 marked with growth and success, this year\u2019s theme of \u2018Awakening the Greatness Within\u2019 also underscored the brand\u2019s commitment to unlocking the full potential of its network as it looks ahead to 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n

Over 300 franchisees and carers from across Visiting Angels\u2019 network attended the brand\u2019s fourth annual conference, held at the Leonard Royal Hotel in London. With \u2018Awakening the Greatness Within\u2019 the running theme for the day, the event centred around harnessing kinetic energy to drive the business forward into 2025 \u2013 a concept UK CEO Dan Archer developed after reflecting on the brand\u2019s remarkable progress this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think about our incredible growth, I\u2019m reminded of a lesson from my GCSE Physics,\u201d said Dan. \u201cPotential energy is the energy stored, waiting to be released, while kinetic energy is the force created when that potential is set in motion. Over the years, we\u2019ve built a solid foundation \u2013 strong brand recognition, glowing online reviews, exceptional client care and a national staff turnover rate of under 10%. This conference wasn\u2019t just about celebrating where we are \u2013 it was about unleashing that stored potential, turning it into the momentum that will propel us toward even greater success.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, thanks to some inspiring keynote speakers \u2013 including renowned sports and business coach Jamil Qureshi, accredited psychologist and confidence coach Delphine Legat, and Ryan Armitage, Director of healthcare recruitment franchise Tezlom \u2013 attendees left energised and ready to take on 2025 with renewed purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to have spoken at the Visiting Angels conference and to see the UK franchising community come together in such a powerful way,\u201d said Ryan. \u201cIt was amazing to witness franchisors supporting each other and sharing invaluable insights throughout the event. The room was filled with inspirational stories and takeaways that will undoubtedly inspire growth and innovation. I\u2019m truly grateful to be working with such an incredible network, and it\u2019s been a privilege for Tezlom to support Visiting Angels with recruitment \u2013 helping to contribute to the network\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the day, Visiting Angels hosted an illustrious black-tie event where the network celebrated its top achievers. Among the honourees was Sheena Khangura, who received the Newcomer of the Year award after successfully launching Visiting Angels Stirling in July.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started this franchise, I never imagined we\u2019d be supporting the local community so quickly,\u201d said Sheena. \u201cRunning a care business has been an incredible journey. I\u2019m loving every second of it. I\u2019m truly honoured to receive the Newcomer of the Year award for 2024 \u2013 every bit of hard work has certainly been worth it! Congratulations to everyone who won awards this year!\u201d<\/p>\n

And the top prize, Franchisee of the Year, was awarded to Nicky Goodall at Visiting Angels North Shropshire. \u201cWe\u2019re truly honoured to be given this award,\u201d explained Nicky. \u201cOur journey began in 2021 when we signed for the franchise, and we started trading in March 2022. Since then, it\u2019s been non-stop! It\u2019s been an incredible ride, and we\u2019re proud to be carer-centric while working towards our mission of becoming Employer of Choice by 2030. Our amazing team in North Shropshire is continuously growing and transforming the face of care in our community \u2013 none of this would be possible without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the in-home care franchise welcomed 21 new franchisees this year, Visiting Angels\u2019 goals for moving forward have been affirmed by its recognition as no.43 in this year\u2019s prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100 league table.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we ride the wave of this annual conference, we\u2019ve already begun transforming our potential energy into real momentum,\u201d concluded Dan. \u201cTogether, we\u2019ve built a national franchise network that places people at the centre of everything we do. This event has not only reignited our shared commitment to our carer-centric mission but also reminded us of the profound impact we can have when we work together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire network \u2013 for what we\u2019ve achieved so far and for the incredible milestones still ahead \u2013 as we work to transform social care for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
