Ged Brew has been a Kare Plus franchisee since 2016. Due to the dedication and commitment he and his team have provided to the local community he now operates across 4 franchise locations.<\/p>\n

Ged\u2019s passion for care is truly evident in everything he does. Even when the country was in a state of lock-down he and his team were going above and beyond to ensure the needs of his customers were met. On one occasion they worked with another local business and created afternoon tea boxes for his clients to enjoy. I am sure you can agree, these went down a treat!<\/p>\n

\"Aspiration<\/p>\n

To truly understand the underlying passion and drive that has made Ged so successful in the care sector we have to go back to the beginning of Ged\u2019s Story.<\/p>\n

Ged\u2019s passion for care arose from a somewhat personal experience. This was when he saw his parents were going through a challenging time trying to provide quality care for his grandparents. Ged felt that there had to be a better way and seeing the success of one of his friends, who was already running a successful Kare Plus business. Having kept a watchful eye over time and speaking to his friend he was introduced further to the potential of franchising.<\/p>\n

\u2018I knew nothing about the sector, but I knew I had the ambition to provide outstanding care, that made a franchise partner so important for me\u2019 Ged advised.<\/p>\n

\u2018In 2016 there were significant changes to the landscape of my previous role of over 20 years as a Law Cost Draftsman\u2019s and Consultant in the legal industry, I decided it was the perfect time to commence on a new journey and I opened my first business with Kare Plus in Altrincham\u2019.<\/p>\n

As an established franchisee within our network Ged acknowledges that his support needs have changed significantly over the years.<\/p>\n

In sharing his thoughts on the support that he has received, Ged outlined \u2018As much as having a franchise can be challenging at times, I don\u2019t see how you can operate in the sector without a franchise partner. In my opinion there is no way you could do this on your own if you\u2019re not from the sector.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I like being a Kare Plus Franchisee and I have learnt a lot on my Kare Plus journey. I have especially found the support provided by the Modern Matron, Director of Regulated Services and Operations Manager fundamental to my growth and to the expansion of my businesses.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The support they have provided me with has not only been relevant to my needs but also to the various challenges which have arisen through having various territories. I could not have done it without them.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ged feels that if he had one piece of advice for those potentially interested in a franchise it would be as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2018I came into this sector confident having ran businesses before. The healthcare sector however is completely different and isn\u2019t for everyone. You can walk in and think you can do this independently because you have business acumen, but this may not be the case, so do your research\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018You have to know what you\u2019re getting into; you need to speak to franchisees and see what challenges they faced, and mistakes made and where they are now, every journey is different.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Just because it\u2019s a franchise doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s going to be easy either. You must be committed, take the good with the bad. It is a long term, full time investment but if you remain committed driven and passionate, with the right people around you there are rewards to be made, this franchise opportunity is testament to that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Aspiration<\/p>\n

Ged\u2019s goals are as clear as they have ever been.<\/strong>
\nIn closing he concluded \u2018the journey so far has further cemented my self-belief that we can provide and deliver outstanding care. We are different to other companies as we want to be better than everyone else, and who would not want that?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We are in this to provide exceptional care. I am more driven and committed to delivering the ethos of the company than ever. Thanks to the franchise opportunity I am in a stronger position than ever to provide care and to continue to generate employment opportunities for all local communities I work with.\u2019<\/p>\n
