We are delighted to announce that on Thursday 22nd November 2018 Woodlands & Hill Brow Ltd were awarded the Family Business of the Year 2018 by Inspire Business Awards. When we were nominated as one of the three finalists last month from so many other strong entries and businesses we were already so proud of everybody. As a family business winning this award means so much to us and all our staff who have become our extended family.

The wait leading up to last Thursday has been full of excitement for us all as it seems like a while ago since the judges were in Hill House last month speaking with our staff members and volunteers about the company and how they feel they are part of a family when they come to work.

Alison and Gabriel took a variety of staff to the awards evening, they were joined by Jo the General Manager, Laura, Aimi & Becky from Woodlands, Ana from Farnham Mill, Lynn & Jade from Hill House and David one of the Trustees from Families Supporting Care. When the winner of the Family Business of the Year Award was announced everyone looked at each other and jumped for Joy, Alison and Gabriel led the whole team up onto the stage to share in the magical moment. Alison took the opportunity on stage to thank not only the staff that were present but announced to the 500 people watching her how proud and honoured she was of every person she has the pleasure of working with and without her residents and staff none of this would be possible.

We really would like to take this opportunity to not only inform you all of this amazing achievement and triumph but to also sincerely thank every resident, relative and team member for making Woodlands & Hill Brow Ltd what it is today, it truly is a team effort by all of you!
