We are delighted to share the outcomes of this year’s prestigious Social Care Leadership Awards with you all. While not all of our nominees took home top prizes, their successes highlight the exceptional leadership within our organisation.
Firstly, we congratulate our CEO Kevin Humphrys who was celebrated for his achievements by being named 7th in the top 10 of the Social Care Top 30 Leaders Award. Out of hundreds of nominations, Kevin’s visionary leadership earned him a place among some of the most respected names in UK social care. We are incredibly proud!
Although Kim Maw of Oakland Grange and Chris Barnes of Oakland Court were not crowned overall winners in their categories, being shortlisted as finalists itself is a remarkable achievement that underscores their commitment to excellence. Both Kim and Chris were recognised for redefining care delivery and creating caring, nurturing environments where residents and staff thrive.
While trophies and accolades are nice, the true rewards are seen every day – in the smiles of residents, the bond between staff, and the gratitude of families. Kim, Chris, and Kevin have all made immeasurable positive impacts through their leadership, values and dedication. For that, we thank them.
We feel deeply proud that our organisation continues to lead by example and push boundaries in social care. Congratulations to all our nominees!
