What Makes Bridgewater Home Care Different?

Bridgewater Home Care is different because everything we do is designed to support franchisees in building strong, sustainable care businesses.

  • We have started and grown multiple home care businesses since 2010 and continue to operate them successfully.
  • We focus on continuous improvement, ensuring our franchise model and operational practices evolve to meet the needs of both franchisees and clients.
  • Our franchise model prioritises the success of the Franchisee, not just the Franchisor.
  • We embrace innovation and technology to drive change for the better.
  • Our systems include fully automated recruitment processes, an internal Care Plan checker, and a dedicated Bridgewater AI Agent to support your daily operations.
  • Phil Eckersley, founder and franchise owner, brings first-hand experience and a deep understanding of the challenges franchisees face.

We are proud of our achievements: a 98% employee satisfaction rate from an independent survey, alumni status in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business programme, winner of the Scale Up Disrupter Award, and recipient of the British Chamber of Commerce Regional Game-Changer Award.

Training

At Bridgewater Home Care, our training and support is led by Phil Eckersley, founder and managing director, and the wider National Office team with over 50 years of experience within the care sector.

Phil, a seasoned entrepreneur with extensive hands-on experience, has successfully navigated every role within the business, from care worker to care manager. As a former franchisee himself, Phil has gained a deep understanding of why individuals choose franchising over independent ventures and what franchisees value most, providing the support and systems needed to build thriving businesses.

This unique blend of franchising expertise and operational insight provides our franchisees with unparalleled guidance, equipping them to overcome challenges and build a thriving business from day one.

As part of your start-up process, you will receive an in-depth 1-week training programme at the National Office, which covers Operations, Compliance, Marketing, Training, Recruitment, Finance and Networking. As a new Bridgewater franchisee, you will also receive ongoing monthly 1-1 mentoring sessions with Phil for the 1st year of your journey, with ad hoc catch-up sessions as and when needed.

You will have access to an unlimited wealth of expertise from our National Office team, who are leaders in the sector, having direct hands-on experience, for whenever you need their guidance and support with your day-to-day operations.
