Hannah White

Already a veteran in the care sector, Hannah had over ten years’ experience working for other care providers before joining Apollo Care. Before that, she was a nanny in the USA, so care is certainly her calling.

 

I had become very disheartened with the company I worked for as it felt as though care was no longer involved and the personal approach was certainly not there. Management’s focus was money no matter what the human impact was. I frequently made improvement suggestions to the manager to help the frustrated care staff and service users which were not acted upon. It was then frustrating for me as we received complaints and resignations which I felt could have been avoided if actions were followed up. I decided to leave in 2012 and go back to delivering care, my true vocation!
– Hannah

 

In 2012, Hannah returned to a basic care role at Apollo Care from a chance Google search where she could focus on the job she loved while she looked into starting her own care company at the same time.

Of course, this would have taken a lot of time and research to set up, so it was fortuitous that 12 months later she discovered Cheryl was intending to franchise Apollo Care. Hannah realised that she shared many of the same values as Apollo, so the franchise seemed like a natural fit.

 

Apollo sounded just what I was looking for, a person-centred care company… I had worked as carer for Apollo for 12 months and found them to be service-focussed rather than money-focussed and this was what I was looking for.
– Hannah

 

Seeing an opportunity to by-pass a lot of the administration and process building that opening a new business involves, Hannah applied to become one of the pilot franchisees.

 

I bought a franchise as I wanted to start a care company and this route saved me a lot of time in respect of writing policies and figuring out the small details of what a start-up would entail.

 

Having worked for Apollo for 12 months as a care assistant, I knew I liked what they did, [they] had the same aims and objectives as me and what I thought a care company should be. The main advantage for me was the support network and the HR systems that come with the franchise. Being a manager can be a very lonely job, and also being a sole director can be daunting so having another source of support is important for me.
– Hannah

Suzanne

Suzanne has owned the South Wirral branch of Apollo Care since 2013 and is also the registered manager. At the time, Suzanne was a single parent who was looking for a way to build a future for her family. Lucky for her, she didn’t have to look too far for the opportunity. A close friend of Cheryl White, Suzanne was already working for Apollo Care when it was just a single branch. When Cheryl decided to franchise Apollo Care, she invited Suzanne to consider buying and setting up Apollo Care South Wirral. Throughout the process, Suzanne notes that Cheryl was a great support to Suzanne, encouraging her every step of the way.

 

It’s not always been plain-sailing. Suzanne acknowledges that operating a business can be one of the most stressful experiences a person can endure. Having to juggle parenting with being the sole proprietor of a new business during the set-up phase demanded a lot of inner resource and resilience.

Suzanne credits the Apollo team with giving her the boost she needed to come through the challenging moments, and Suzanne has found the friendship of Cheryl to be invaluable. The two women remain good friends five years down the line, as Cheryl is always on-hand for a coffee and a chat.

 

At one point I was ready to give up completely, but the team helped and guided me, putting processes in place to help me. I am glad to say I didn’t give up and have come though the other side.
– Suzanne

 

The hard work is now paying off. With a growing business, a growing reputation and excellent staff, Suzanne is finding the much need time for her children and the confidence that comes from being your own boss, creating your own timetable and heading up your business. She has aspirations to expand her portfolio by taking on a new territory and increasing the range of services she offers under Apollo Care.

This is now the highlight, as I have my own business, a single mum and the TIME to spend with my children and provide an income whilst choosing the hours I work.

Zara Williams and John McGovern

 

Zara and John have co-owned the Liverpool branch of Apollo Care since 2017.

Before joining the Apollo Care family, Zara had worked in retail in managerial roles, however had loved working in care since she was 18 years old. Zara was always working for various agencies as bank staff. After finding retail work uninspiring, she decided she wanted something to do something more worthwhile with her everyday life. Zara’s dad and sister had bought the South Liverpool franchise 3 years earlier and had made a great success of their business. After seeing the South Wirral franchise were advertising for a co-ordinator to join their team, Zara applied and was successful. Zara really learnt the role and grew in confidence whilst here and decided that should the chance arise, she would like to become a care manager to deliver a similar impact which she had been a part of in

the South Wirral team.

 

We could see from outside looking in at the South Liverpool team how much hard work was required to set up and establish yourself as a brand-new company and how much depth of knowledge and understanding was required for such an important role. We quickly realised that the best way to gain this knowledge was to go out and do the role and link up when needed with the other experienced team members or head office.
– Zara

Zara’s fiancé John graduated in 2003 and never really knew what he wanted to do. He had worked in retail in varying roles which culminated in a role which he found unchallenging day-to-day. Like Zara, he was looking for a role where he could make a difference, so in 2017 they took the plunge and set up the Liverpool branch.

Whilst Zara already had care experience, the franchising system allowed an additional element of support which she and John could both call upon when needed. For example, the legal side of the business was something which they never had to worry about as this was already in place and set up. 

 

The good thing about joining a franchise was also the part of being involved in an ever-growing company with a similar outlook to ourselves wanting to make a positive impact and change on vulnerable people.
– Zara

 

Zara and John experienced success a lot sooner than anticipated. Originally, they intended to grow the business slowly, however, the support they received from head office and the South Liverpool branch meant they were able to leave their full-time jobs ahead of schedule, and have now both nearly completed their Level 5 NVQs in health and social care and received an overall “good” on their first QCQ inspection report. Like with any new business, there are high points and low points. Zara recalls that the most difficult moments running her franchise have been losing clients due to old age and illness, which is inevitable in this area of work. However, the sadness is juxtaposed by the excellent feedback Zara receives from family members and colleagues in the health care profession who have noted the good work their team carry out and the positive impact they have been having on service users. Their plan now is to grow their presence in Liverpool and achieve an “outstanding” in their next inspection report.
