On Friday 24th January our Managing Director (Ms.Karen Hughes) HR Officer (Mr.Garry      Stamford) and Finance Manager (Miss.Lydia Hughes) attended an update seminar with  Pensinsula Business Services at Ruthin Castle Hotel. The speaker was Mrs.Amanda Chadwick, a  highly respected broadcaster and international speaker covering a wide number of subjects.

We covered many topics throughout the day and found the content of the seminar beneficial  as always.  We’ve been a Peninsula customer for around 7 years now and are always keen to  keep up to date with all the employment law developments relevent to our business.

Michael Phillips Care Agency Ltd are delighted to announce that this year Ms.Belinda Ward has arranged for many of our elderly and lonely clients to receive a freshly cooked three course Christmas Dinner on Christmas day. The meals will be cooked and supplied by Front Room in Rhyl and delivered personally by Belinda Ward. We’d like to congratulate Belinda for her dedication to ensuring many of our lonely clients don’t go without a Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day and I’m sure those receiving them would like to extend the same gratitude to both Belinda and Front room. We’d also like to wish the Front Room all the very best over the Christmas period. Why not visit the Front Room facebook page and take a look at what’s on over the Christmas holidays. Merry Christmas everyone.

Michael Phillips Care Agency Ltd’s management and office team would like to wish everyone associated with us all the very best for Christmas. We’d also like to wish everyone best wishes for 2014.

Please remember the elderly and vulnerable this winter.

One of our in-house trainers, Marie Evans, delivered an awareness session today, entitled ‘Dignity in Care’, to a group of our employees.

Employees attend relevant training as part of their own learning and development, and, our commitment to on-going training ensures we maintain and improve knowledge and skills throughout the workforce.

Today I’d like to thank and congratulate Ms.Jayne Haimes, my  Senior Care Manager for her dedication and continued support  over the last 10 years with Michael Phillips Care Agency Ltd.  Jayne started working for me in 2003 as a home carer and has  progressed through training and development to her current  position as my trusted colleague and right hand (wo)man.  The  entire team and myself wish Jayne every success over her  next 10 years with Michael Phillips Care Agency Ltd as we  continue to expand.
