UNSUNG heroes' at a Bromsgrove home care company have had their hard work recognised with a regional award.

Town MP Sajid Javid presented the Home Care Top 20 Award, which is based on customer reviews scores, to Care Force staff on Friday, May 18.

The award recognises the most recommended home care providers in the West Midlands.

Care Force's operations director John Hollingsworth said: "We have a great team of staff. They really are the unsung heroes of Bromsgrove - supporting the elderly members of our community.

"Our managing director Sue Bradshaw has been working in care for 25 years.

"It's thanks to the efforts of these guys that we are able to deliver such a high quality of care to our clients."

To celebrate the accolade, a party was held with customers, staff and social workers outside Care Force's headquarters in Bromsgrove's High Street - next to the MP's office.

Speaking at the event, Mr Javid said: "I was lucky enough to meet Care Force many years ago when they were just starting out.Since then they've gone from strength to strength."

"Today I've met customers and heard feedback from the people who use this service.

"I wish more care companies were like Care Force. They listen to their customer feedback and respond to it to ensure they provide the best service possible.

"I look forward to seeing them keep up the good work."
