Care UK has been ranked 22nd in the Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250 league table of Britain’s leading mid-market private companies.

Published last week in the Sunday Times, the league table featured Care UK as the highest ranking health and social care organisation.

The care provider has moved 14 places up the table from last year, and is now ranked higher than other well-known private companies such as the RAC and Selfridges.

Mike Parish, chief executive of Care UK said: “This standing reflects the fact that we have continued to invest heavily in bricks and mortar, services and colleagues. For example, we’re proud to have opened four brand new, luxury care homes in Edinburgh, Kent, Sussex and Worcestershire in 2013 with two more due to open later this year as well as expanding the healthcare service that we provide as part of the NHS.”

David Maxwell, partner at Grant Thornton, the title sponsor of the league table said: “It is great to see private mid-sized businesses making such a positive contribution to the UK economy.

“Impressive leadership is ensuring they prosper despite tough trading conditions, with many companies expanding through their international operations and all making sure they retain and engage talented people in the UK.”
