The Greetwell Plate: November
The cold weather has arrived, winter is well and truly here, and the Greetwell team has had another busy month supporting the care sector. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to in November!
We kicked off the month with an exciting milestone, the installation of solar panels at our office! This forms a key part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and supports our goals within the Carbon Literacy Project. We’re proud to be taking practical steps that contribute to a greener future.
We were delighted to attend the National Care Awards, where we were honoured to be nominated in the Supplier of the Year category. A huge congratulations to Bidfood UK for their win, and to all the other nominees and winners on the night.
We joined an insightful event at Bishop Grosseteste University, hosted by Lincolnshire Care Association.The session explored the importance of marketing in the care industry and was a great opportunity to connect and learn alongside fellow care-focused organisations.
The November edition of Care Home Magazine landed, and as always, we proudly sponsored the Care Home of the Month feature.This month, Otterbourne Hill, part of The Brendoncare Foundation, was in the spotlight, a fantastic example of a home that brings three care services together under one roof. Congratulations!
December is just around the corner and that means one thing: festive season! We’ll be sharing Christmas content and sector updates throughout the month.
