Growing home care group, Guardian Angel Carers, opens new franchise locations to extend its network of local care services

Chichester, England, United Kingdom, September 25, 2026 -- Guardian Angel Carers is inviting prospective franchisees to apply for a home care franchise opportunity to establish and operate their own home care service, as the business continues to expand to meet demand for personalised, high-quality at-home support backed by an experienced national team.

The home care group, whose founder and CEO was named CEO of the Year in the Women in Business Awards at the 2026 Business Awards UK, has grown since its launch in 2012, from a single branch to 18 territories, supported by a National Office in Chichester.

It has now made a limited number of additional territories available to dedicated franchisees who want to build a business with a strong sense of purpose.

How Guardian Angel Carers’ Local Care Network Has Grown

Founded in 2012 by Christina Handasyde Dick MBE, OLY, Guardian Angel Carers grew out of her own experience of her grandmothers receiving care, and the different approach to home care she wanted to build as a result.

The group is built around the belief that people should have the right to remain independent at home, surrounded by loved ones, routines and places that hold value, while families and friends can continue to maintain those important connections.

As the business has expanded, the home care franchise model has enabled local business owners to bring this same approach to their own communities, while benefiting from the expertise and infrastructure Guardian Angel Carers can offer.

Franchisees run their own local business with National Office support behind them across recruitment, CQC compliance, finance and marketing.

Operations Director, Vikki Craig-Vickers speaking on behalf of Guardian Angel Carers says, ‘Everything we do is grounded in offering great care, and that starts by working with people who share our passion for making a difference to families and people in their communities.

We developed our franchise model to give ambitious, forward-thinking franchisees a way to build their own businesses with a genuine focus on delivering the best possible care, while partnering with our National Office colleagues to help them succeed.

The most productive conversations we have are with people who want to understand how the business runs day to day before they look at the numbers. Anyone at that stage should get in touch.’

Comprehensive Franchise Support Services Offered By Guardian Angel Carers

While the Guardian Angel Carers brand is well established, franchisees receive support with the practical and operational aspects of running a home care service, starting as they prepare to launch a new territory and continuing as each business develops.

Support available to franchisees includes:

Training and development, helping franchise owners and their teams gain the knowledge and skills they need to run their businesses.
Recruitment assistance, including guidance around how to create and develop a strong, values-focused local care team.
Compliance support, including CQC registration before launch and continued support through inspection.
Finance and HR support, with specialist assistance across these key business functions.
Marketing assistance, helping local franchises improve awareness and become established within their respective communities.
Peer-led support, connecting franchisees across the network to enable them to share experience and advice.

The combination of national expertise and local ownership has helped the Guardian Angel Carers franchise model expand into multiple new territories, where franchisees can build relationships within their own communities and make independent decisions while remaining firmly part of the wider network.

Territory availability changes as the network grows, so the franchise team can confirm what is currently open and talk through which locations suit a prospective owner's plans.

Interested applicants can contact the franchise team directly to learn more about potential territories, the support provided, and what is involved in becoming part of the growing Guardian Angel Carers network.

About the company: Guardian Angel Carers is a home care group founded in 2012 and now operating through 18 locally owned territories across England, supported by a National Office in Chichester. Its branches provide visiting care, waking nights, sleep-ins and Live-in Care, from companionship through to complex needs, so that people can stay in their own homes as their needs change.

How one woman is rewriting kabuki’s ‘all-male’ narrative in Japan

Out of the backstage shadows, an onnagata – the traditional female role in the Japanese traditional theatre art of kabuki – steals into the light. Her hair is swept high into a voluminous bun, framing a face veiled in a thin layer of porcelain-white powder. Touches of cherry blossom flush across her eyelids and lips. She glides across the starkly lit stage so weightlessly that her steps leave silence behind. With precision, she turns, twirls and looks into the distance, face perfectly...

When centuries of Chinese knowledge were destroyed by a warlord who burned the capital

Before I went to Warsaw, I knew little of the city beyond the fact that it was Poland’s capital. I had not realised that much of present-day Warsaw, including its beautiful historic centre, was rebuilt after World War II. Warsaw’s wartime destruction was not merely the consequence of battle, but a deliberate campaign by its Nazi German occupiers to erase much of the city. In August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising – a Polish armed revolt by the city’s underground resistance against German occupation –...

What I learned from 230km ultra-marathon race in Kenya over 5 exhausting days

Halfway up a long hill in the Kenyan wilderness, a photographer pointed towards the bush. Just 20 metres (66 feet) away, a hyena was running through the undergrowth, chasing its prey. It was exhilarating – and a little terrifying. I was taking part in Beyond the Ultimate’s For Rangers Ultra, a five-day, 230km (143-mile) race through five Kenyan wildlife conservancies, where encounters like this were all part of the unique experience. Armed rangers were stationed around 300 metres apart along the...

MJ Marfori, partners toss hat into wellness ring

Entertainment journalist and television host MJ Marfori has teamed up with entrepreneurs Marga Arenas Vargas, JR Marfori and Mikee Arenas to launch Gutta Glow, a Filipino functional beverage brand that aims to make wellness more accessible and easier to incorporate into everyday routines. The four founders officially introduced the brand on Sept. 16 at The Rockwell Club in Makati City, bringing together their backgrounds in media, entertainment, marketing and business for a venture they had been developing for more than a year. For Marfori, the business marks a new chapter beyond her work in journalism and television. “I’m used to telling other people’s stories, but this time, the four of us are building our own. Gutta Glow is about taking care of yourself without making wellness feel like a chore. We wanted it to be something you can actually enjoy while navigating work, family, travel and everyday life,” Marfori said during the launch. The idea took shape during the pandemic when the founders began discussing longevity, healthier routines and the need for products that could easily fit into everyday life. JR Marfori said he and Vargas had worked together during the lockdowns and began thinking about how they could maintain a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. The group eventually decided to develop its own product, embarking on a research and development process that lasted more than a year. The founders said they divided the work according to their individual backgrounds. Vargas and MJ Marfori handle the brand and content side, while JR Marfori and Arenas focus on the business, marketing and numbers. For JR Marfori, working with family was also an important part of the venture. “We all have our roles and responsibilities. At the end of the day, I like to do business with family because I know we share the same set of values,” he said. Gutta Glow’s initial product lineup includes Honey Lemon Iced Tea, French Vanilla Coffee and Spanish Latte. Depending on the variant, the products contain functional ingredients such as inulin, green tea extract, green coffee extract, L-carnitine, garcinia cambogia, berberine extract, Immuse LP20, hydrolyzed collagen, reduced L-glutathione, skim milk, whey protein and stevia extracts. The founders said they wanted the products to retain familiar flavors while incorporating functional ingredients. “We wanted something that’s easy on the pocket, palatable and portable,” JR Marfori said. Taste was a major consideration during the development process, particularly for the coffee and iced tea variants. The founders also emphasized convenience, saying the products can be prepared at home, brought to work or taken while traveling. They are sugar-free and contain 30 calories per sachet, while some variants contain ingredients such as whey protein and prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. “The benefits really set it apart. That’s why our battle cry is, ‘Drink smart and glow hard.’ You don’t have to compromise your health. It’s really easy, it’s so convenient and it’s so delicious,” Vargas said. The founders said the products are FDA-approved and Halal-certified and that the brand has received recognition from Superbrands Philippines. “This is just the beginning. We’re also trying out new products that fit the values and the mission of Gutta Glow,” they said. The brand is available through its online channels, including Shopee, TikTok Shop, Instagram and Facebook.
