Case Study - David Moore

David Moore acquired the Home Instead Senior Care Stockport franchise in October 2006. With a lot of hard work David has seen his business flourish and growth in the last couple of years has taken his turnover to an impressive £1.45 million.

As with many Home Instead Senior Care franchise owners, David Moore had carved out a successful career for himself prior to joining the Home Instead team.

David was previously Managing Director of a combat and workwear company that supplied the Ministry of Defence. His job took him around the world and, although this might sound fun and exciting, David found that he was spending more and more time in airport lounges. What he really wanted (aged 48) was to be more in control of his own life and spend more time at home.

Through one of his golfing buddies David was introduced to Home Instead Senior Care. The more he heard about it, the more he liked the sound of it. David realised that the growth potential of the care sector was huge and having looked into the Home Instead Senior Care opportunity in more detail could see that what they were operating here in the UK was a proven solution.

Home Instead Senior Care ticked all the boxes for David – he could own his own business, tap into the considerable experience available across the Home Instead network, and the growth potential of the business was significant.

Commenting, David says: "It's been hard work – but extremely rewarding. When I came into this business it was because I could see what a great business opportunity Home Instead offered. I have to say now though that I have been on a huge learning curve in terms of acquiring knowledge about the care sector. Home Instead is all about delivering the highest levels of care and I am absolutely passionate about this a spect of the business. I am hugely proud of the work we do."

The Stockport franchise currently employs 85 care givers and 7 office staff and looks after 178 clients.
