A North West care group has invested £225,000 in a new office to cover the Darwen and Blackburn area.

Alcedo Care is based at Anchor Court, on Commercial Road. The latest office will support the company’s plans to take its home care services to all areas of the North West over the next few years.

Covering Darwen, Blackburn, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall, along with all surrounding areas, the new office launches with a dedicated team of four office staff and 20 carers responsible for delivering the company’s portfolio of personal care, support, companionship and nursing services to those who wish to remain independent in their own homes.

The company is already looking to grow the new office and recruit a further 10 carers per month with the aim of delivering well over 1,000 weekly care hours across the region over the next 12 months.

Managing director, Andy Boardman, said: “While we do already have some clients in the area, they are located just a little bit too far from our Preston or Bury offices, so a base in Darwen and Blackburn will be perfectly placed to help them and also others with care needs who wish to remain independent in their own homes.

“From both a client and recruitment perspective, the area is a perfect fit for us and we aim to expand further in the coming months.”

Cindy Cragg has been appointed manager of the new office in Darwen, working with Chelsea Bryans who has recently been promoted to service development manager for Alcedo in the Preston area.

The opening of Darwen and Blackburn brings the total number of Alcedo Care offices in the North West to 12 and complements the company’s existing bases in Southport, Blackpool, Preston, Lancaster, South Lakes, Liverpool, Chester, Wirral, Wigan, St Helens and Bury.
