Decade of success for Yorkshire care provider

Yorkshire-based nursing, social and homecare agency, Local Care Force is enjoying a double celebration by reaching its 10th anniversary and hitting its target of £10 million turnover.

With offices in Leeds and Sheffield and plans to open a third in Manchester before the end of the year, Local Care Force has achieved year on year growth since its inception in 2004. The business has also received a perfect Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating for the last seven years.

Founded by Yorkshire entrepreneur, Leanne Silverwood and her business partner Samuel Rutsito (both pictured), Local Care Force provides temporary and permanent staffing solutions to large private, public and charitable organisations. This includes supplying fully trained and specialist nursing staff to home carers. The team offers 24 hour care including palliative for those at the end of their lives.

Director of Local Care Force, Leanne Silverwood, said: “Reaching a decade in business is a real milestone for us. We have grown organically and are incredibly proud to have achieved so much. I’m now excited about what the next 10 years will bring.”

The business plans to celebrate in style by throwing a party in Leeds at the iconic Corn Exchange later this month for its 1,000 plus staff to thank them for their hard work.
