Duncan Smith
Duncan SmithJob Title:Managing DirectorJoined: 2015

Inspired by the memory of my Grandfather, Murray Affleck, who was a well-known and respected Doctor (Consultant Physician) at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, I have opened Caremark Kirklees with the vision to become the best provider of home care in the region. The focus is on delivering the highest quality of care possible in order to improve the quality of life for the people supported by Caremark.

Born in the Holme Valley and raised in Huddersfield, I have a wide ranging business background, with both international and UK sales experience. My mission is to provide a local service where I can make a difference to those who have chosen to remain in their own home and receive personal care to enable them to be independent, secure and retain their dignity.
