The recent company rebrand reiterates this diversification which Kate is excited about as she explains:

“A move into the Gainsborough Healthcare Group has come at the right time for me. The business is evolving at pace which is a tempo I thrive within, as new opportunities arise and further openings need to be cultivated. I was introduced to Gainsborough by one of my relatives who felt this organisation would be the ideal fit for my skillset, they were right. The team have all been fantastic since I joined and clients have been extremely positive. Visiting the impressive Gainsborough bath manufacturing plant for the first time was a memorable experience.”

Kate adds:

“G360 services are proving popular with my contacts as they offer bathroom turnkey solutions, from pre-enablement works and design through to install and beyond. I had previously seen several bathroom projects completed by non-specialist builders which lacked quality and precision. We are about providing durable, quality solutions that deliver sustainable care, CQC hygiene excellence and utmost safety – an offering I am proud to showcase. Equally the efficiency, ergonomic and hygiene-related innovations within Gainsborough baths are outstanding. I will be championing these factors whilst encouraging greater involvement from frontline care staff in the decision-making process and underlining Gainsborough’s bather-centric ethos.”
