Caremark Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire

Managing Director

Having joined the NHS shortly after leaving school in 1985, John's career has continued in health and social care, eventually progressing to senior management level. With over 40 years of experience across a range of sectors, including the NHS, the private and voluntary sectors, as well as working in the military as a Nursing Officer.

"What brought me to Caremark? Well, having recently struggled to find suitable quality domiciliary care for family members, my late partner agreed with me that a simple solution would be to start our own care at home company, where quality and a person-centred approach would be our only standards. We aim to be able to provide this quality care no matter whether it is a private paying or a local authority client, as everyone should be eligible to receive the highest standards of care. I want Caremark to be the go-to place that people want to be part of, whether that be staff or clients"

Away from work, he also runs a Scotland-wide resilience charity, loves boating and also playing golf, albeit badly. However, his cat and dog are the ones that really control his life, routinely waking him up each morning demanding to be pampered long before my alarm goes off.
