Local Homecare provider Right at Home Solent is celebrating after recently picking up the Marketing Excellence and Young Ambassador of the Year Awards at the network’s Celebration Awards.

The annual awards took place at the national franchise’s prestigious ceremony on Thursday 28 September, at Hilton, St George’s Park. Over 200 members from the Right at Home network were in attendance. The awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of franchises and employees who have gone above and beyond to make a difference in Clients’ lives and their local communities.

Right at Home Solent’s Hollie Mace was crowned Young Ambassador of the Year after judges were extremely impressed with what she has achieved in and outside of work, in such a short time. Hollie has been an ambassador since a young age and has become a real champion for careers in care. At just 22 years old, she is extremely passionate about her job and is a shining example of real progression within the Care industry, having progressed from CareGiver to Quality Service Manager in just two years.

Hollie was overwhelmed by her award win, saying:

“I’m so pleased to be crowned Young Ambassador of the Year. I’m passionate about working in Care and supporting Right at Home to make a difference every day. I’ve loved developing my skill set over the two years and am really keen to help attract more people into the sector. I’d like to say a huge thank you to Kev and Amy Popat, our franchise owners, for nominating me for this award and for always supporting me and my progression within my career.”

Amy, Director of Right at Home Solent, commented:

“We are so pleased to see Hollie win this award, she has been a superstar from day one. She always goes above and beyond to support her team and our clients. We have no doubt that she will continue to achieve incredible things for us, the sector and the whole Right at Home brand.”

Upon receiving the Marketing Excellence award, Right at Home Solent was praised for its incredible attention to detail and clear evidence of Return On Investment. Judges felt that Right at Home Solent is clearly able to demonstrate how its initiatives have made an impact on the business, proving that drive and consistency always win.

Kev, Director of Right at Home Solent, added:

“We’re absolutely thrilled with this award win. We are extremely passionate about providing outstanding care in Gosport, Fareham, Southampton and New Forest East, and we are so proud support and meet the individual needs to all our clients. This commitment to quality is carried through to our marketing efforts. We are proud to be part of the Right at Home brand and delighted that this has been recognised.”

Right at Home CEO Lucy Campbell, who presented the awards, commended Right at Home Solent’s hard work over the last 12 months, saying:

“Right at Home Solent has had a brilliant year. As Young Ambassador, Hollie exemplifies our brand ethics and values. She has had an extremely successful year and has proven her dedication to, not only her Clients and colleagues but the sector as a whole.

Meanwhile, the whole of the team at Right at Home Solent has shown tireless hard work and dedication to achieve the Marketing Excellence award. They always represent our brand in the best possible way and we can’t wait to see what they continue to accomplish over the next year and beyond.”
