Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth & Hitchin

Right at Home Bishop's Stortford & Braintree is very pleased to confirm that it purchased Right at Home Stevenage, Letchworth & Hitchin on 31st January 2023.


This is a wonderful opportunity to expand our area of operation and we can't wait to get cracking! We have now spent a few weeks liaising with the existing team in Letchworth & things are looking really positive.

Departing MD Kurt Gunthardt commented on the sale: "We’ve built a team who have bucket loads of compassion and empathy, whom I’m extremely proud off and will remember forever. I’ve had the support of my colleagues across the Right at Home Network and made some great friends. I’d also like to thank the team at the Right at Home National Office who’ve helped me through the journey. continued below

 

I’ve learned invaluable lessons during my time as a business owner, some of them very difficult. All of them have taught me something, not just about business, but about myself, too. These lessons have made me a better person, a better leader and instilled resilience and determination in me.

I’m delighted that I’ve been able to sell the business to a friend and Right at Home colleague, Christopher Neal, who’ll now take the business to the next level alongside his current Right at Home office in Bishop's Stortford. He takes on a business with strong foundations and a team who are 100% committed to delivering exceptional care to the elderly and I wish all of them the success they rightly deserve."

New Office

Taking over a business always presents challenges but in this case, both businesses are within the Right at Home family & because of this these challenges are much smaller. We already follow the same principles in how we deliver care and support to our local communities and our values are aligned.

The first exciting change to announce is that the existing Letchworth office will close but a new one is springing up soon in Stevenage at the Business & Technology Centre. More details on the office and other exciting changes will be contained in further updates!
