So, what have we been up to the past 20 years?
Aside from spreading joy & laughter and creating amazing relationships with all our wonderful clients everywhere we go. We deliver the Motivation & Co. session throughout the Care Sector, from Care Homes, Residential Homes, Nursing and Dementia units to Learning disability care and Neurological units… and we absolutely LOVE IT!?!?!
Motivation & Co. UK LTD started in June 1998.Elaine Everett our founder started the company after visiting her Grandfather in care. A lot has changed in the Care Industry in the past 20 years and the Motivation & Co brand has grown organically over that time.
In the past 20 years we started from an office within Elaine’s home, and have since moved 5 times, as the business has grown.
This year alone we have said goodbye to our longest standing member of our office team of over 18 years as she moved on to pastures new.
Celebrated one of our Motivational Therapists 10-year service with us.
We cover over 26 different postcode areas up and down the country.
With our Franchisee’s renewing their contracts time and time again.We started delivering training days for other members of the care sector community and created a fabulous hub of engagement and activity throughout the care sector. We work with our local communities and get involved with local visiting schemes, celebration days and volunteer our services throughout the community. This year we helped raise nearly £4,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society within the local community. (Please see pictures attached)
