Radfield Home Care: A franchise which offers long-term demand, strong support and meaningful impact.
If you've ever wanted to run a business that changes lives - not just balance sheets - Radfield Home Care offers the perfect opportunity. Backed by award-winning training, practical support and a proven business model, this is a franchise designed to help you start, scale and succeed with clarity and confidence as you help older people to live independently and stay connected to what matters most.
Your Journey with Radfield: Experts in the Business of Care™
Backed by 40 years’ experience at the heart of the UK care industry, Radfield Home Care has stood as a beacon of genuine human connection for loved ones and their families. However, this opportunity is not just about our exceptional legacy; it's about what this legacy means for you.
Radfield's story begins in the caring professions: founded independently by siblings Dr Hannah MacKechnie (a qualified GP) and Alex Green (finance and business) but built on a family legacy that started with a residential home in Shrewsbury.
From the outset, their purpose was clear - not just to provide care, but to create a business founded on compassion, community connection and genuine human relationships.
This is a family-centred business built on compassion and community, which perfectly balances commercial success with it’s Be There™ movement, when it’s most important. However, this is about more than just building a business. It’s an investment in becoming the person you want to be; a business leader who can deliver real, meaningful community impact.
You’ll become part of a nationwide community of business owners united by a shared goal: to make ageing a more positive experience.
