Carly’s nomination was supported by family members of the individuals she supports and you can see from the newspaper article above just how highly valued Carly’s contribution is to their loved one’s care.

Jane Montrose, Managing Director of Apple House care homes, said, ‘Do we seem just a little bit proud of Carly? WE ARE BEYOND PROUD! For Carly, this is so deserved. She always goes above and beyond and so I am not surprised to learn of yet another occasion when Carly has prioritised the needs of those she supports and their families above her own personal obligations.  Carly is one hundred percent focused on each individual and her pro-active approach has been rightfully highlighted. Good luck Carly!’

Carly will be attending the awards ceremony and lunch this Thursday, 15th November, cheered on by Romaine Lawson, Director of Operations.

Daily Echo Editor Andy Martin said, ‘We are delighted to be hosting these very special awards for the second year. The dedication of all those involved in caring for others, whether they be professionally trained or informal or family carers is amazing and these awards are a tribute to them and all they do. Where on earth would we be without them? We heard some wonderful and inspiring stories in last year’s awards. I know it will be the same this year.’

Director Of The Year 2018! https://www.applehouse.co.uk/director-of-the-year-2018/ https://www.applehouse.co.uk/director-of-the-year-2018/#comments Tue, 24 Jul 2018 08:00:03 +0000 https://applehouse.co.uk/?p=1713 We are thrilled and so very proud to announce that our own Romaine Lawson, Director of Operations, has not only won The Venus Awards ‘Director of The Year’ for Dorset, but has also now won ‘National Director of The Year!’

About The Venus Awards

“In 2009 I created the Venus Awards to applaud and reward working women who are so often starved of adequate recognition and workable life-balance.

My vision and mission for Venus is to actively influence a movement of change to a more equitable and inclusive society; not by forcing opinions but by mutual respect and inter-gender collaboration.” — Tara Howard, Founder.

National Finalists, Director of The Year 2018

Romaine says, “It’s been a great experience being part of the whole process for the Venus Awards. Not only did I meet such inspiring women during the the months leading up to the final who were also nominated, I was introduced to our fabulous sponsors and judges. If you know of someone that you would wish to nominate then I would highly recommend that you keep updated with the Venus website and put them forward when there are the nominations in your area.

I was delighted to achieve the Director of The Year award in 2017 for my area,  and now absolutely thrilled to be Director of The Year 2018 nationally!

To win was such an honour and a surprise considering the amazing women I was in the national finals with. I would like to say that I couldn’t carry out the work that I do without the tremendous support of my fellow director Jane Montrose who is herself a former winner of a converted Venus Award of Inspirational Woman of the year. Also key to keeping our head office running is Sarah-Jane who’s organisational planning there keeps Jane and I pointing in the right direction!”

Judgement Day… https://www.applehouse.co.uk/judgement-day/ Wed, 21 Jun 2017 16:31:45 +0000 https://applehouse.co.uk/?p=1411 Nestling close to the fabulously colourful Birmingham Botanical Gardens was the location of today’s interviews for the finalists of The National Learning Disability and Autism Awards.

Romaine Lawson, Director of Operations for Apple House care home group, travelled to Birmingham to represent us.  Romaine said, “It was such an honour and privilege for Apple House to be finalists alongside national charities and city councils as one of only ten finalists in the country for the ‘Best Employer’ category.”

An honour indeed.  We are but a small company of dedicated professionals and to be a finalist for such a prestigious award has really rather taken us aback in the best possible way!

So, here’s keeping everything crossed.  To our team: we adore you.  Here’s to you!
