Caring Company Rewards Outstanding Staff

Award winners celebrateA family-run care company which believes it can only provide exceptional service by employing outstanding people has held its annual awards evening in Great Harwood.

Townfield Care is run by brothers Michael and John Timmins, who took over the long-established business from their mother Maria. It operates Townfield & Coach House, a specialist dementia care home in Great Harwood, Sherwood House, a small residential home for the elderly in Rishton, and an expanding home care service throughout Hyndburn, Ribble Valley and Rossendale.

“We recognise that our staff are our greatest asset, which is why we hold an annual awards night,” said John Timmins. “While all our staff are a credit to the business, these awards recognise those who continually give it their all.”

Held at Great Harwood Golf Club, the evening was hosted by BBC radio Lancashire’s Stephen Lowe and the awards were presented by the Mayor of Hyndburn Coun. Marlene Haworth, local councillor Gareth Molineux, and by Mrs Maria Timmins. The winners were:
