TUESDAY 23 NOVEMBER - Celebrating the work of Team Torbay
Setting off this morning under heavy wintry skies and plummeting temperatures I headed south and west in search of more cheerful weather on the English Riviera. Sure enough by the time I arrived in Torbay the sun was shining brightly. My first visit was to the Torbay office of Somerset Care at Home and a chance to catch up with the staff team at their office in central Torquay. Our domiciliary care contract with the Torbay Care Trust dates from 2006 and over the past 4 years we have been steadily building our business and our reputation in the Bay area. We are now well regarded by our commissioning partners and most importantly by our clients, who clearly value the excellent services of our staff team.

This afternoon I joined with Board colleagues and we celebrated the achievements of our Care Team at our own Torbay Care Awards event. It is always a genuine pleasure to be able to spend time with our wonderful front line staff and to be able to thank them for the fantastic job they all do. At our event today we were joined by several of our clients and by members of the commissioning team of the Torbay Care Trust. Both groups spoke very highly of the standards of care our team continually adhere to. They are a magnificent team who work closely together to ensure that everyone we support gets the best possible service every day of the year.

In a close knit team where everyone more than pulls their weight it is always difficult to choose individuals for special recognition. The task of selecting her Operations Manager Award winner fell to Shirley Chapman. After much careful thought Shirley chose two winners who together form our inseparable care planning team of Claire Davies and Sam French.
Special thanks should go to our management team who lead the Torbay base with such dedication, enthusiasm and skill. Their leadership is what binds the staff together into a purposeful and committed unit. Congratulations on all you do and on a great day today to our Manager Tracy Uddin and her Deputy Sally Kenyon.
A TERRIFIC DAY WITH TEAM TORBAY!

I would like to say thank you. It was truly a great afternoon and the cream tea debate on which should go first the cream or jam unfortunately was not resolved.
Lovely write up, acknowledging the great team work that has been going on at the Torbay Office.
Sorry that I was unable to attend, it looks as if it was a prestigious event - Congratulations to all the winners.
Sam - I put the cream first and then the jam, however there are 4 different cream teas; Somerset, Devonshire, Dorset and Cornish and they probably all have their different ways of serving, etc.
