A RESIDENTIAL home in Grappenhall has made the final of a prestigious national awards.

Heathfield Residential Home in the village has made the final shortlist for UK Employer of the Year Platinum in The Investors in People Awards 2021.

In a record-breaking year for entries, with nearly 300 organisations involved, this is an outstanding achievement.

Marjorie Ada, registered manager at Heathfield said “It is a privilege to be shortlisted for this award; a clear indication of the dedication and hard work the team has invested in the business.”

The Investors in People Awards celebrate the very best organisations and individuals from around the world across various organisational, people, wellbeing and leadership categories.

Each year hundreds of organisations from the UK and abroad battle it out to take home one of the sought after trophies to show their award-winning commitment to investing in their people.

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, commented: “Now in our 8th year, it always makes me feel immensely proud to see so many fantastic organisations staking their claim to be the best.

"And every year, the entries do get more and more competitive and the judging even tighter. Reaching the final shortlist is a testament to the amazing commitment these organisations are making to make work better for their people, and they truly deserve this recognition.”

Heathfield Residential Home is already rated outstanding by regulator the Care Quality Commission.

In April it was given platinum accreditation by Investors in People.

Platinum is the highest level of accreditation possible to achieve in the ‘We invest in people’ accreditation and is something only four per cent of organisations achieve.
