As the Managing Director, I am actively involved in the oversight of the day-to-day activities of various departments, ensuring smooth functioning and efficient utilisation of resources.

I provide guidance and support to department heads, fostering a collaborative and high-performing work culture. One of my key responsibilities is to build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, including residents, relatives, staff, commissioners, regulators and investors. I also represent the company at external meetings and events to promote our brand and reputation.

Coming from a nursing background, I thoroughly enjoy being in the homes and having contact with the residents and staff and I try to do this as often as possible. I have been very fortunate to have worked in supportive environments, with managers who have encouraged and developed me and I now enjoy seeing new talent coming through with the support and backing of the company.

My family are a great support and 4 of us are nurses so they understand the challenges of the care side of the business.

When I am off-duty, I enjoy cooking and especially Indian food, which is a throwback to when I lived in the nurse’s home among Mauritian Indians, who were great cooks. Increasingly I am spending time in the garden, growing fruit and vegetables, accompanied by my two assistants, Isa and Buddy, my two Cockapoos, who unfortunately sometimes dig in areas that were not part of my plans!
