On the road again
We’re heading into the Golden Quarter now, which is the busiest, most important time of the year for us.
For this edition, we’ve spent some time out on the road with our Home Installation and Servicing teams, and it’s a brilliant insight into a part of the business that doesn’t always get the spotlight.
For some of our customers – particularly those ordering online or over the phone – this might be the only face-to-face interaction they have with CareCo. That puts a huge amount of importance on getting it right. The care, the time taken, the pride in doing a good job is exactly what we want the business to be known for.
As we head into peak, that same mindset matters everywhere. Whether you’re in a showroom, in Customer Experience, in the warehouse, out on the road or anywhere in the business, it’s those everyday interactions that shape how people see us.
This quarter is always full-on, and it will test us at times. But it’s also where we’re at our best.
So, let’s stay focused, support each other, and do whatever we can to make every day a better day.
Tom Stansfield Managing Director
It’s about empathy, you’ve got to understand people and what they need from you. “ “

Change Communication
We are developing a clearer approach to how we communicate change across the business.
This means that when changes do happen, you’ll hear about them in good time, with clear explanations of what’s changing, why, and what it means for you.
Next steps:
Career progression Recognition
Our Values Heroes is launching again and will be running every six months, giving more people the opportunity to be recognised for the everyday actions that make a real difference across the business.
As part of our new 'Performance & Development Cycle' we are introducing 'Development Reviews'. These conversations will focus, not only on continuously developing skills required in our roles, but also identifying career aspirations, growth opportunities and developing skills for the future.
These are just the first steps. The feedback highlighted several other areas for improvement, and each department will be reviewing their own results and building plans for the year ahead.
We’ll also be introducing quarterly pulse surveys, to track progress and make sure we’re continuing to listen and respond to your feedback.

March for Macmillan:
Stepping Up for a Great Cause
Our CSR Committee continues to look for new ways to bring colleagues together while supporting causes that matter — and in March, they did exactly that with the launch of March for Macmillan.
The idea was simple: get active, have some fun, and raise money for a fantastic cause. Colleagues from across the business signed up to track their steps throughout the month, working together towards a shared target of 10.5 million steps, while donating to support Macmillan Cancer Support.
What followed was a brilliant mix of friendly competition, teamwork and creativity. Steps were being completed on
lunchtime walks and gym sessions to walking rugby, Jazzercise and even on a pub crawl!
The entry donations raised £697, which the business generously doubled, bringing the total raised for Macmillan to £1,394.
The steps target didn’t last long either. Thanks to the collective effort we not only reached our 10.5 million target, but we went well beyond it, finishing the challenge with an incredible 13,726,798 steps logged.
A huge thank you to everyone who signed up, donated, shared photos and helped build the momentum across the month.
From miles to meringues more from the CSR Committee
Easter Coffee Morning
Hot on the heels of March for Macmillan, the CSR Committee kept the momentum going with an Easter coffee morning and bake sale in support of Braintree Food Bank.
The CCHQ atrium filled with homemade bakes, with colleagues stopping by throughout the morning to grab a slice and support a great local cause.
Thanks to everyone who baked and bought, we raised over £230 for Braintree Food Bank — a fantastic result from a simple idea done well.
What’s Next?
Star Baker
The Easter Bake Competition brought out plenty of creativity, but one entry stood out from the rest.
Congratulations to Talia Zagger, our Refund Administrator, whose banoffee meringues did not last long!
Thankfully we had enough left for our judges to try, and they all agreed she should be crowned Easter Star Baker!
Easter Egg Donations
Alongside the bake sale, colleagues at CCHQ also donated Easter eggs for families supported by Braintree Food Bank.
In total, 19 Easter eggs were collected — helping to make sure local families could enjoy a small treat over the Easter weekend.
A small gesture that will make a big difference.
Got a fundraising idea, favourite cause or fun event you’d love us to try?
The CSR Committee would love to hear from you, it’s your chance to help shape what we do next.
Life on the Road
On paper, Home Installation and Servicing are two different departments. In reality, they’re cut from the same cloth. Both play a crucial role in the experience our customers remember and in the reputation we’ve built.
Our 4.9 out of 5 Trustpilot score doesn’t happen by accident. It’s shaped, day in and day out, by the people who interact with our customers, and these guys do it on customer’s doorsteps and in their homes.
Our drivers are not just about delivery or repair, they represent the CareCo brand in its most tangible form. They don’t know what they’ll be walking into – every home, every customer, every conversation is different.
What they do know is that their approach matters. Temperament, attitude and empathy are just as important as technical skill.
The ability to reassure, to explain, to take the time when it’s needed.
And there’s a lot to know. From installing products like adjustable beds, to diagnosing and fixing faults on the road, both teams carry a depth of knowledge that shouldn’t be underappreciated. It’s physical work, too: long days, heavy lifting, lots of miles on the road.
Across CareCo, we have teams going out in our vans from CCHQ and all our hubs. While the scale may differ from site to site, the goal doesn’t. Hub teams often juggle multiple roles to keep things moving, stepping in wherever needed to make sure customers aren’t left waiting.
“Our teams know they have to jump on other things when it’s needed. We don’t want lead times to drop or to let our customers down.” – Russ McGrath, Servicing and Engineering Manager, CCLS.
With demand growing alongside our number of showrooms, that focus is only becoming more important. Work is already underway to centralise routing and improve efficiency, but the heart of the operation remains unchanged.
This feature follows two days on the road – one with Home Installation, one with Servicing – to shine a light on the people behind the service, and the difference they make where it matters most.
Servicing training
When you spend time with our teams on the road, one thing becomes apparent: the level of product knowledge required is incredibly broad.
That’s exactly what led Mat Dunn, Rob Tees, and Tom Curson to rethink how we train our people, particularly in Servicing, but with clear benefits for Home Installation too.
The result is a eight-module, 25-part training plan that breaks our product range down into structured, focused learning. For example, a scooter is split into modules such as battery types, Controllers/P.C.B's/Wiring looms and Drive train - motors/transaxles/brakes. Each module is supported by a presentation and finished with a Q&A to check understanding.
Originally designed as a six-week onboarding programme, it’s now available to everyone. That means engineers and installers alike can revisit specific areas and refresh their knowledge.
As Mat puts it, “If we’re supplying these products, customers should expect the people working on them to know them inside out.”
It’s a simple idea, but one which is very much still evolving as we continue to build out the depth and accessibility of our training.
On the road with Home Installation
There’s no easing into a day on the road - they start early. I’m picked up by Graham at 6:30am, though he tells me this is a relatively kind start. On longer routes, the alarm goes even earlier but today, we’re staying local, covering Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Graham’s been with CareCo for just over a year, but it’s clear he’s no stranger to people-focused roles. As we get going, he talks about his varied career – from the police to working at parliament – and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches this job. “It’s about empathy,” he says. “You’ve got to understand people and what they need from you.”
The van is already loaded, prepped the day before by Graham thanks to the work by the Product Assembly
team. The route is mapped out, and customers are kept in the loop through Mobilise notifications. But, like all our drivers, Graham goes a step further - he’s called our first stop the afternoon before and will check in with each customer before we set on our way to them. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Our first job is a collection in Cambridge, picking up a faulty Zora Powerchair. Then it’s on to our showroom in Peterborough to collect a chair for delivery.
The highlight of the day is delivering that chair to Gillian. She welcomes us into her home, closing the door quickly so her cat doesn’t run away, and begins to chat to us about the day. It’s easy to see how visits could
run over but Graham strikes the balance perfectly – warm, patient, but mindful of the schedule. After installation, he takes the time to demonstrate the chair, making sure she’s comfortable using it. She says she’ll ‘have a play with it’ once we’re gone. With a smile, a thank you and a brand-new chair, we leave Gillian and head back to the van.
After a short stop for a battery collection, the final delivery is in Norfolk – an Adapta table carried upstairs for a customer’s father.
By 2:30pm, we’re back, but the day’s not quite done. Graham is already preparing for tomorrow, loading up the van again.
It’s a job built on early starts, practical skill, and, above all, people .
On the road with Servicing
If the home installation team is about delivery, servicing is about restoration. Where one brings something new into a home, the other steps in when something’s gone wrong.
At 5:30am I’m on the road with Keith, heading towards Kent as the day slowly wakes up around us. Keith has been with CareCo for four years, he talks about his pride of working here, and how it feels good to resolve issues for people every day.
“When something isn’t working, it leaves people vulnerable,” he says. “If I can fix their fault then they can get their freedom back.”
The day has been mapped out the night before by Tom Curson and the Admin team, with five visits scheduled – a fairly typical day.
The goal is always to fix the issue there and then, though it’s not always possible. But this isn’t just about repairs. As Keith puts it, it’s as much about advice as it is about tools – helping customers understand maintenance, batteries, and how to get the most from their equipment.
The first stop, in Hythe, is a routine scooter service – a thorough check of batteries, wiring, brakes and more, not unlike a car service. From there, we move on to Ramsgate for a battery replacement, before arriving in Whitstable to a scooter with no power.
The cause turns out to be simple –it hasn’t been charged in ten months – but Keith patiently talks the customer through what’s needed and manages somehow to coax the battery back to life.
There’s an easy rapport with customers throughout the day. Keith chats, jokes and reassures, never rushing, even as the schedule ticks on. “A job will take as long as it takes,” he says.
By the time we reach our final stop in Chatham, a more complex repair involving a new motor, brake and transaxle, it’s clear this is skilled, hands-on work. But it’s also something more.
“I love what I do,” Keith tells me. “It’s more than a wage. You can go home knowing you’ve achieved something – that you’ve made someone’s day better.”
We’re back around 4pm, and the van is soon being prepared for the next day. Another early start, another set of problems to solve.

Straight from Our Customers
We take great pride in our Trustpilot score, because it’s one of the clearest reflections of how our customers feel once everything is said and done.
Not just the purchase, but the delivery, the installation, the service visit…the full experience.
With nearly 70,000 reviews and a 4.9 out of 5 rating , the consistency of feedback speaks for itself, and our drivers contribute to that score on a daily basis.
Here’s what our customers have said about our Home Installation and Servicing teams.
Excellent service
Excellent service today with the delivery of our riser/recliner chairs. The team, Ross and Ahmed, who phoned to check the address etc and give an arrival time, arrived exactly on time after a 2.75hr drive. Then assembled the chairs and demonstrated their use and thoroughly examined them to check for signs of damage. They were friendly, engaging and efficient. A credit to the company.
“ “ “ “ “ “
CareCo deliver first class product and service.
We have a motorised wheelchair for our son. Recently a bolt broke making the chair difficult to use. Within a few days a CareCo engineer, Nigel Davenport, came to our house and assessed the problem. He saw that the chair would need to be taken to the company workshop to be fixed. Seeing the chair was crucial to our son’s wellbeing, he took it with him and promised to return it the next morning. Indeed, we had it by 11am the next day. This service experience was really excellent, and we give a special shout-out to Nigel, who was unfailingly clear in his explanations, helpful and considerate. We need more Nigels in the world.
Riser/recliner
The two gentlemen who delivered our riser/recliner were brilliant. They rang us to let us know that they were on their way and then again to inform us that there were traffic problems so they would be a bit late. Nice to be kept in the loop. Very professionally took our old armchair away and slickly put our new chair together. Then a succinct demonstration, exchanging anecdotes all the while. When they left, everyone was smiling. A big thank you to Rick and Ali.
Golden QuarterGearing up for the
Retail
Retail is focused on turning marginal gains into meaningful impact. That means sharper planning, smarter use of data and a more targeted approach to day-to-day operations.
Initiatives like the ‘Golden Hour’ and improved scheduling are helping us be there when customers need us most, with the right people in the right place at the right time.
Behind the scenes, a stronger focus on communication and performance insight is keeping teams aligned and ready to deliver consistently high standards. More on how this comes to life across Retail over the following pages.
Operations
Operations is focused on driving efficiency and protecting service performance. That includes smarter route planning to reduce travel time and fuel use, alongside greater flexibility in shift patterns to ensure we’re covered during high demand.
We’re also increasing route density through more targeted delivery scheduling, while reviewing warehouse resource to support assembly and returns processing.
Across the network, changes to fleet and stock positioning, including integrating new vehicles and easing pressure on smaller DCs, are helping improve flow, increase resilience and keep lead times low.
Showrooms
The key for Showrooms is planning rotas in advance, so cover is locked in and holidays are accounted for. From there, it’s about consistency –keeping the showroom clean, stocked and ready to go every day.
One other thing to prep is a sandwich for lunch, because when it gets busy that might be all you have time to grab!
Customer Experience
Our Customer Experience teams have been getting properly peak-ready. Sales have been sharpening their FABs across our carbon powerchair range, making sure they can confidently bring features, advantages and real-world benefits to life for customers.
Meanwhile, Product Care have been gearing up for scooter season with focused training sessions to refresh knowledge, build confidence and keep everything running smoothly as demand ramps up.
Product
The Golden Quarter doesn’t just happen –it’s built well in advance.
Product Management is right at the centre of that, driving demand planning, product promotions, and new product development to ensure we enter the peak period stronger, smarter, and more competitive than ever.
Promotional plans are locked in 4-8 months ahead of peak, and new product development cycles span from nine months to over three years. We are also working closely with suppliers to manage costs and protect margins, keeping us competitive without compromising on quality. Ultimately, Product Management isn’t just about preparation – it’s about performance. We don’t support our peak period – we power it.
Marketing
We’re building strong foundations to drive demand across every channel. Our new Challenge TV sponsorship (April–October) will deliver major reach with our core audience, boosting showroom footfall, inbound calls and website traffic during peak.
We’re also scaling up social media and launching new TV creative in early summer, while seasonal campaigns roll from Go Explore into our Carbon Mobility event that will tap into customers’ desire for freedom and independence.
Behind the scenes, we’re enhancing the digital experience with improvements to product listings, search and content, making it easier for customers to find the right product and convert with confidence.
Supply Chain
Behind the scenes, Supply Chain has been laying the groundwork for peak well in advance. Planning starts in our quietest months, where the team dive into data, review trends and place orders early to stay ahead of demand and reduce stock risk.
L&OD
With global shipping still unpredictable, we’ve secured freight capacity early and built longer transit times into our plans, keeping goods moving with minimal disruption.
From supplier collaboration to logistics and warehousing, everything is aligned so we’re ready to handle bigger volumes and deliver when it matters most.
In anticipation of the golden quarter, learning programmes such as The CareCo Way and our many leadership development pathways, will be temporarily paused to provide people with the time in this busy period to apply their newly acquired skills.
Over the summer months, we'll be busy designing and developing engaging experiential blended learning; as well as collaborating with our trusted voices, ready to re-commence learning in September/October.
Backing Yourself Neil Gibson’s Journey to Store Manager
With a mix of nerves and excitement, Neil Gibson is counting the days.
Looking at where our new showroom in Stockton is located, and knowing the team he will be bringing in, he can see the opportunity. For Neil, this isn’t just another store, this will be his first as a Showroom Manager.
Neil joined CareCo in 2022 as a Showroom Advisor in Glasgow, bringing with him a strong background in sales. And like in his previous roles, he was already aspiring for more.
“Seeing the type of business CareCo is, and how it was growing, I always wanted to progress into a management role.” He says.
That ambition showed early. Whether it was supporting teammates, getting involved in coaching, or looking for ways to improve how the showroom operated, Neil consistently looked beyond his role. When opportunities came up to step in and take on more responsibility, he took them.
Craig Kennedy, Area Manager for the North, was Neil’s manager in Glasgow at the time.
“Early on, Neil knew what he wanted to achieve,” he says. “He saw what a team could be capable of and worked towards that. He’s the kind of person who is open to getting guidance, and once he’s on the right path he’ll push forward.”
When Craig moved into his Area Manager role, Neil stepped up to help cover in Glasgow. But he knew that if he really wanted to develop, he might need to take a bigger step.
That opportunity came in Newcastle.
One of CareCo’s largest showrooms, Newcastle offered a new challenge, and the chance to learn under the experienced leadership of Lauraine Corkin. It also meant leaving Glasgow behind and relocating to make it happen.
It’s not a small decision, but for Neil, it was a simple one.
“There is no one better to learn from than Lauraine and the team at Newcastle is amazing too,” he says.
In Newcastle, he continued to build his skills and grew his learning of what it takes to run a successful showroom.
So, when the opportunity came up to manage a brand-new store in Stockton, he went for it, and we’re pleased to say – he got it!
With opening due at the end of May, Neil is currently training his team in Newcastle, getting everything in place before the doors open.
“I like to develop people. I prefer to be called a coach than a manager. But I’m also very hand on, and I’ll happily muck in wherever I am needed. We are one team, and I can’t wait to see how we all succeed together.”
From Glasgow to Newcastle, and now to his own store, this is the result of a decision Neil made early on: to be clear about what he wanted, and to go after it.
Winning the
Small margins
The longer you’re at the top, the more the small margins matter. “ “
Paralympian Charlotte Henshaw spent time with colleagues at HQ, sharing insights from her journey to becoming one of the world’s leading paracanoe athletes.
When Paralympic gold medallist Charlotte Henshaw needed a mobility scooter ahead of the Canoe Sprint & Paracanoe World Championships in Milan last year, she found herself in an unexpected situation. Her usual supplier couldn’t help.
So, Charlotte put a call out on Instagram — and CareCo answered.
That moment sparked a new partnership, and in March Charlotte visited our HQ to share more about the journey that has made her one of the world’s leading paracanoe athletes.
Charlotte’s Paralympic dream began earlier than most. At just nine years old, she met Paralympic champion Emily Jennings and had the chance to hold – and even wear – her gold medal.
“That was the moment,” Charlotte recalls. “From then on, my dream was to become a Paralympian.”
At the time, the Paralympics were far less visible than they are today, but the ambition stuck. By her mid-teens Charlotte was competing at national level in swimming, and by the age of 21 she was representing Great Britain on the world stage.
But elite athletes are rarely content to stand still. After years in the pool, Charlotte felt ready for a new challenge.
That decision led her to paracanoe and the transition was rapid. Within six months she won silver at the European Championships, and just 18 months later she was incredibly crowned World Champion.
Today, Charlotte is the world number one in her class – a position she has held for the past eight years. But reaching the top is only part of the challenge. Staying there requires relentless attention to detail.
“The longer you’re at the top, the more the small margins matter,” she explains. “It’s about doing everything to the best of your ability every single day and always being curious about what you could do differently.”
While Charlotte is the one racing down the course at speeds of over 20km/h, she’s quick to point out that success in elite sport is never a solo effort.
“Yes, I’m the person on the water and the one crossing the finish line, but it’s a huge team effort,” she says. “From the coach to the physio, the psychologist and everyone behind the scenes, everyone plays their part. Communication is key. It might not always be obvious how all the pieces fit together, but making sure everyone is connected makes a huge difference.”
It’s a message that resonates far beyond sport. Whether in elite competition or the workplace, high performance rarely comes from individuals working alone – it comes from teams working together with a shared goal.
For Charlotte, partnering with CareCo also reflects something personal. Living with a disability has shaped her understanding of independence and the importance of the right support.
“As someone who has always wanted to be independent, I had to learn to accept help and be open to it,” she says. “CareCo is striving to make life more accessible and help people live the lives they want to live. That feels like a really natural fit.”
It’s a partnership built on shared values – and a reminder that whether you’re chasing a Paralympic medal or striving for excellence in the workplace, success is rarely about one big moment.
More often, it’s the result of teamwork, persistence, and those small margins that add up over time.
From Marginal Gains to Meaningful Impact
As we head into our biggest Golden Quarter yet, we are continually looking for those incremental, marginal gains that help us grow, build and deliver our success. This year is no different, but we also have some amazing tools and programs currently being delivering which we hope will be the difference makers this Golden Quarter.
Golden Hour
Extending our trading hours in our showrooms on Mondays and Thursday is a simple but powerful example of this approach in action.
By opening our doors for longer during key periods, we’re standing out from our competitors and making it easier for customers to visit us at a time that suits them.
Right People, Right Place, Right Time
A big focus has been on strengthening how we schedule our teams, making sure we stay aligned to the natural peaks and trends in our trading patterns. By weighting rotas towards our busiest periods, days and times, we can ensure we have the right people in place when they’re needed most. It’s a more deliberate, responsive approach that helps us stay robust and consistently deliver the level of service our customers expect.
Communications
With a re-energised communication plan focused on sharing performance insight, updates and direction, teams are more connected and better equipped to act on what matters.
It’s not just about information it’s about creating an environment where people feel informed, involved and heard.
The CareCo Way
As our academies, coaches and ambassadors continue to build capability across the network, we’re seeing those marginal gains come to life through stronger knowledge, greater confidence and higher standards of service.
It’s this foundation that ensures every small improvement adds up to something much bigger.
As part of The CareCo Way, our showroom teams are stepping into the next stage of their development — building the confidence and know-how to deliver a great experience for every customer who walks through the door.
After working through product knowledge, the focus has now shifted to the Seven Habits of Sales Excellence. These are being brought to life through two-day workshops at CCHQ, CCTA and CCLS, led by our partners at FSS. They’re hands-on, practical sessions — plenty of role play, real scenarios and the chance to try things out in a safe space before taking them back into the showroom.
The habits themselves cover the full customer journey — attitude, approach, questions, listening, selling the solution, concluding, and referrals & recommendations.
It’s not about scripts or quick wins, it’s about building the right behaviours and repeating them until they become second nature.
When we get that right, everything else follows — better conversations, more trust, and ultimately better outcomes for our customers.
There’s also a wider push around coaching, with managers spending more time focused on performance and behaviours to help embed these habits day to day.
And while it might not be part of the formal training, it sums things up nicely — we’re all aiming for that moment where you walk away from an interaction knowing you’ve done a great job and genuinely helped someone. That’s what good looks like.
