A huge congratulations to the team at Professional Carers Wirral, a family-run home care company based in Wallasey, who secured the ‘Business to Consumer Services’ award at a ceremony held in Manchester on Friday, May 10, 2024.

The event, organised by the Northwest Family Business Awards, celebrates business excellence and honours family businesses located in the northwest.

The trio of family members, Julie, Carly, and Gary, are the driving force behind this business. They have created employment opportunities for local communities while focusing heavily on the continuous development of their staff and dedication to the people they support.

Professional Carers, now employing 200 staff and supporting over 500 people across Wirral, provides support to individuals both within their own homes and within care accommodation. 

The award presented to the team was designed and build in the shape of a heart, representing the 'lifeblood' of family businesses across the northwest, showing the importance of such organisations to the community.

The organisation said the winning the award has left their workforce and supported people feeling very proud.

Julie Harrison, founder of Professional Carers, said:

I am so humbled and privileged to see Professional Carers win this coveted award. As a family-run business, we are passionate about every service user we support and every staff member we employ. The value and importance family-run businesses bring to local communities and the economy is one that should be celebrated and never underestimated. I am thrilled that the judges recognised our contribution and excellence towards business services and the health and social care sector. This leaves me to just say thank you to our fabulous and one-of-a-kind team, whom without them all, we would not be in this position today.

Judges presenting the award to Professional Carers stated:

This winning family business has a pragmatic attitude, whilst putting the welfare of others first. The strong team with focused family values from day one has certainly influenced the success of this business today.
