Expanding with Care
Thursday 19th March 2009
New offices and a new training suite have provided a major boost for an expanding Yorkshire care company.
Family run Riccall Carers which provides qualified and experienced home care support workers across York, Selby and North Yorkshire, moved to new offices at S Harrison’s Escrick Business Park development last summer. The award-winning firm has seen staff numbers almost double to 140 in the past 30 months.
Riccall Carers bosses Gill and Tony Conroy bought the two-storey 1300 sq ft office at Escrick to accommodate their growing head office and admin support team.
Training is a vital element of Riccall Carers’ success. Recently they were awarded the highest possible “Excellent” rating by the care home regulatory body, the CSCI, and their training manager won a quality award at the inaugural 2008 Great North Care Awards event.
Says Tony: "The new offices at Escrick include a dedicated training suite which has helped us to ensure that new staff joining the team are equipped to maintain the quality on which we have built our success."
"Helping people to continue to live independently in their own homes is a growing market. Based on the quality of our service, we've seen a major growth of our business since the move to Escrick," says Tony Conroy, who founded the company with his wife Gill in 1998.
S Harrison’s Escrick Business Park, on the A19, offered a number of benefits over rival sites. Says Tony: "The fact that we could buy rather than lease offices is something which appeals to many SMEs like ours. The location gives us excellent access to York, Selby, across Yorkshire and beyond, without the kind of traffic congestion we might experience in a more central city location, and that really matters to us."

"Now it’s completed, the Park is developing a real character and its own community and being here has proved a real boost to our business."
