East London care providers shone at the 2026 Caremark Awards, securing two prestigious titles:
• The national Rising Star Award – Caremark Greenwich
• Regional Award for the best franchise in London – Caremark Barking & Dagenham
The awards, which recognise offices demonstrating exceptional care standards, strong leadership and a meaningful contribution to the wider Caremark network, were presented at the 2026 Caremark annual conference, where more than 140 offices from the leading home care provider’s network competed across multiple categories.
Rising Star Award: Caremark Greenwich
The Rising Star Award recognises franchisees trading for less than three years who have achieved impressive business growth while earning a strong reputation in their local communities. Caremark Greenwich has quickly established itself by combining excellent care with a results-driven approach that promises even greater impact in the years ahead. The award was presented to Franchise Owner Sukhvir Gill.
Caremark’s Franchise Manager Matthew Glover explained why Greenwich stood out:
“Since officially launching the business in 2024, Franchise Owner Sukhvir Gill, working closely with Registered Care Manager James Principe, has driven rapid growth at the Greenwich office. Through determination, commitment and hard work, Sukhvir and the team have achieved significant increases in turnover while consistently maintaining exceptional standards of care and trust within the community – firmly establishing Greenwich as one of Caremark’s most promising up-and-coming offices.”
Regional Award for London: Caremark Barking & Dagenham
Caremark Barking & Dagenham stood out for its consistently high-quality support for customers and their families, alongside the professionalism and dedication of its local care team. Franchise Owners Matthew and Christianah Jegede received multiple nominations from their peers, praising both the quality of care delivered and the culture they have built within their service.
One nomination stated:“Mr. Matthew is always supportive and available when I need advice. He goes above and beyond by helping train my Care Assistants and ensuring they are confident in their work. His dedication truly makes a difference.”
Impressed with the team’s contribution to the Caremark network, CEO David Glover added:
“This is a fantastic achievement for both offices. Sukhvir and Matthew and Christianah have built teams that are clearly making a real difference to people’s lives across London, not just through the quality of care provided, but through the trust they build with families every day.
“With Caremark now delivering around 135,000 hours of care each week across the UK, it’s offices like Greenwich and Barking & Dagenham that set the benchmark for what outstanding care should look like.”
