Corinium MD Clare clinches top business award

Corinium Care is proud to announce that our Managing Director, Clare Janik, has won the title of Woman of the Year in the Gloucestershire Women in Business Awards 2015.
There was double delight at the awards ceremony when the company was also named a runner-up for Business of the Year.
The awards shine the spotlight on excellence and highlight the female entrepreneurs who are championing the county’s business scene.

Clare, who joined Corinium in 2003 and has played a pivotal part in its success, thanked her Nailsworth-based team for their hard work and support.
Winning this award is an absolute honour and it’s a tribute to the entire team,” she said.
"It has been an extraordinary year for Corinium Care. The company has introduced the biggest structural changes since its formation and we continue to go from strength to strength,” she said.
“We could not have achieved half of what we have without the dedication and sheer hard work of every member of staff. They have been brilliant.”
The agency provides live-in care for elderly people, those with dementia and young adults with physical and learning disabilities. Founded in 1995, it has more than 800 registered carers as well as its head office staff, and recruitment offices in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
In the last year the company transferred more than 500 self-employed live-in care workers on to the company payroll as salaried staff. The aim was to make sure that Corinium Care maintains its position as one of the leaders in the live-in care market, raising the bar and setting exemplary standards.
It was a seismic shift in the way the company operates and Clare led from the front, doing her utmost to keep staff, carers and clients on board throughout.
The winners in the Women in Business Awards 2015, organised by Gloucestershire Media, were announced at a dinner at Cheltenham Racecourse, when Embarrassing Bodies star Dr Dawn Harper was the guest speaker.
Editor of the Citizen, Jenny Eastwood, praised all the entrants and said that Corinium Care and its MD were “inspirational”.

“I thought if I was going to do something different, it should be totally different. It’s opened my eyes to a whole new world,” he said.
Bronwyn Bentley, 42, is the company’s new Accounts Assistant. Born in South Africa, she came to the UK in 2007 and joined Corinium Care as a live-in carer.
“I know what a great company it is to work for, so when an opportunity came to join the head office team, I jumped at the chance,” she said.
Managing Director Clare Janik welcomed all three members of staff to the team. “It’s been a year of enormous structural change at Corinium Care and I’m sure that Bronwen, Peter and Becky will provide invaluable back-up as we continue to stride forward,” she said.
