I\u2019m always referencing how we are a growing network with more than 30 locations, how we are all independent but part of the same national brand, how our nearest neighbour is over the way in Harrogate.

I think our old visual identity and website had served us very well but needed some tweaking to be ready for our next stage of growth. It takes us to a level where we are now a truly national provider, with a truly national offering, with a thought-provoking, thought-leading message.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-would-you-say-to-anyone-considering-starting-a-business-in-the-care-sector\"><\/span>What would you say to anyone considering starting a business in the care sector?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cI genuinely believe that to succeed in this sector that you have to be a bit of a people person.
