An Enfield company has been named “Care Provider of the Year” at a black-tie awards ceremony.

Home Care Preferred, from Winchmore Hill, won at the 2016 HealthInvestor Awards on Wednesday, June 15 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, hosted by John Humphrys.

Managing director Ken Waterhouse, who has worked in the care industry for 25 years, said: “For my staff to be recognised for their outstanding care work is a fantastic achievement for the whole team and we want to continue providing first-rate care for people in their homes and helping them to maintain their independence as much as possible.”

Home Care Preferred visits hundreds of people in their homes, and recently set up dementia awareness workshops for businesses in Enfield.
