Celebrating Leadership in Franchising<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Thursday 15th May 2025, leaders from across the UK franchising sector gathered at the NatWest Conference Centre in London for the prestigious NatWest Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWIF) Awards. The annual event celebrates the achievements of women driving innovation, leadership, and progress within the franchising industry \u2014 and this year, CareYourWay\u2019s CEO Sarah Sabater was honoured as a finalist in the \u201cWoman Franchisor of the Year\u201d, and “Inspirational Women in Franchising of the Year” categories.<\/p>\n

Sarah\u2019s recognition reflects her bold and values-driven leadership within the home care sector. Since founding the CareYourWay franchise alongside her family, she has championed a person-centred, ethical approach to franchising \u2014 ensuring each franchisee is empowered, well-supported, and aligned with a shared mission of delivering outstanding care.<\/p>\n

Sarah commented on the honour of being a finalist:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EWIF Awards are more than a celebration \u2014 they\u2019re a testament to the change we\u2019re all working to create. To be recognised among so many inspiring leaders was humbling. At CareYourWay, we\u2019re proud to be building a network where compassion, integrity, and empowerment are at the centre of everything we do.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another Proud Milestone for CareYourWay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The event served as a moment of pride not only for Sarah but for the entire CareYourWay team. As the brand continues to grow its national presence, the values celebrated at the EWIF Awards \u2014 integrity, empowerment, and person-first leadership \u2014 remain firmly embedded in the company\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n
