SPECIALIST dementia care group Camelot Care, which runs Camelot House and Lodge in Wellington, has been officially named one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing companies in the UK in the London Stock Exchange’s 1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain report 2018.

The report features companies in traditional industries and more recent economic success stories, identifying the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic small and medium-sized businesses, and endorsed by the Government, all major political parties and the UK’s leading business associations.

It shows Camelot Care to be one of the best performing companies in the UK, not just in its sector, but across all businesses.

This year 62 companies from the South-West are named in the report, an increase of 8 per cent on last year, but Camelot Care is the only healthcare business listed for this region, and is one of only 46 healthcare businesses listed nationwide.

To merit inclusion in the report companies needed to demonstrate consistent revenue growth over a minimum of three years, significantly outperforming their industry peers. Camelot Care’s growth in revenue over the assessed period was 209 per cent.

Camelot Care director John Teasdale said: “We are delighted to receive such public recognition, with this analysis reflecting that we are not only an excellent care-provider, but also a sound commercial business.

“We strive to ensure Camelot Care consistently provides the best possible care for our residents, as well as a rewarding working environment for our employees – all within an overall business structure that is well-managed and prudently financed.

“Although business is tough at the moment our organisation is growing steadily, and it’s a very exciting time for us, so it’s really gratifying to receive this endorsement from such a well-respected source.”

Camelot Care runs homes for up to 222 residents with dementia and associated health issues at specialist care homes in Wellington, Bridgwater, Yeovil and Plymouth.
