East Devon care workers are celebrating after being recognised in their company’s national awards.

William and Sara Flint, partners at Bluebird Care’s Exeter and Exmouth office, have been named as the firm’s Newcomers of the Year.

William said: “We are naturally very pleased to have received this award. Our approach to home care is based on good, old-fashioned service or, put mostly simply, providing our customers a service we would want our own family to receive.

“The feedback locally has been very good, so receiving this prestigious award from our peers is the icing on the cake.”
