A BARNSLEY company which supplies products to care homes has more than doubled its sales since 2014.

Countrywide Healthcare, based at Park Springs in Grimethorpe, has a turnover fast approaching £20m and has announced the appointment of two new directors.

Sarah Robinson joins as the new operations director and Richard Hannah has been confirmed as finance director. Sarah gained experience working in both distribution and manufacturing for leading global companies and joined Countrywide in 2013. Richard joined Countrywide from DFS in 2015.

Alastair Kitching, managing director, said: “Both Richard and Sarah have been integral in the recent success of Countrywide and the appointment to the board not only rewards their achievements but recognises the need for senior appointments in key strategic areas as the company continues to grow.

“We have a strong and respected reputation in the care home and online sector and have ambition to keep growing the business, both organically and by acquisition.

“Sarah and Richard understand the long term vision we have for the business and will add considerable value in terms of expertise and knowledge during this exciting time of growth for Countrywide.”
