A North East care company is looking to create around 50 jobs and quadruple its turnover after securing a six-figure investment.
Happiest At Home provides an app-based relationship management service, bringing carers together with people who need care support for a variety of reasons, including learning difficulties, physical disabilities, mental health issues and acquired brain injuries. The Newcastle business was formed at the start of 2021 by a team of experienced care sector professionals and is the only business of its type in the north of England, working with clients across the UK.
The firm worked with regional fund management firm NEL Fund Managers to bring in the £100,000 investment from the North East Growth Capital Fund Loan Fund, Supported by The European Regional Development Fund, which it is using to increase business development activities and expand its team. Happiest At Home built a turnover of £750,000 in its first full year and is now planning to increase this to around £3m in the coming 12 months and is expecting to create around 50 new jobs at its head office and elsewhere over the next three years.
