Build A Business With Purpose

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.

Happy, well-trained teams create better client experiences and stronger, more stable businesses.

Who This Is For

You don’t need to come from a healthcare background to succeed - many of Radfield’s franchise partners have joined from management, education, and corporate careers.

What they all share is a passion for:

Being Their Own Boss - building something both commercially and personally rewarding.
People & Community - genuine empathy and a desire to make a difference.
Community - wanting to be at the centre of local life, creating something that matters.
Leadership - building teams and nurturing culture.

On 17 Jan 2025 at 13:36 two Radfield franchise partners, Radfield Home Care York and Radfield Home Care Wakefield, were featured in the January “Good News Stories” newsletter from the Homecare Association.

Franchise Development Director, Phil MacKechnie, makes sure that all Radfield Home Care business owners who are Homecare Association members actively seek out opportunities to share their positive news stories with the Homecare Association and the wider community. Reminding them that as a member, they have a platform to showcase their successes and contributions to the industry.

In many cases it is as simple as remembering to email the editor, as part of all the existing excellent work they are already doing.

As Phil says: “It's truly inspiring to see our franchisees not only obtaining coverage but also dominating the news cycle!

“The benefits of obtaining local and industry coverage, such as that provided by the Homecare Association, are numerous. It boosts their brand recognition, enhances their reputation, and can even attract new clients and employees. It's a win-win situation!”

Radfield Home Care donates £1,000 to keep clients’ heating on during Amber Weather Warning

Radfield Home Care York, Thirsk & Ryedale made the contribution as part of their Winter Energy Support Initiative.

The Winter Energy Support Initiative is part of Radfield Home Care's efforts to help the most vulnerable clients stay warm during the January cold snap. As energy costs continue to rise, this initiative is designed to ease the financial pressure on those most at risk, ensuring they remain safe and comfortable in their homes.

In response to the drop in temperatures and cold forecast in January, the £1,000 donation will be shared among 20 clients identified by Radfield’s Care Professionals as being most in need. Each client will receive £50 to help with their energy bills during this critical time.

“At Radfield Home Care, we’re committed to supporting our clients in every way possible,” said Ed Gill, Director of Radfield Home Care York, Thirsk & Ryedale. “We understand that the rising cost of living and cold weather can make winter particularly challenging, and this initiative reflects our dedication to caring for our clients’ overall wellbeing.”

Jess Reed, Operations Manager at Radfield Home Care, added: “Our Care Professionals know our clients better than anyone, and their input in identifying those most in need has been invaluable. This initiative is a wonderful example of how we work as a team to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

This winter support initiative is an extension of Radfield’s person-centred approach, which prioritises not only the care needs of its clients but also their overall quality of life. “This is about more than care; it’s about community, compassion, and practical support when it matters most,” added Ed Gill.

Here’s the mention for Radfield Home Care Wakefield:
