Jon Stone said:
I recognise the importance of supporting and representing homecare providers and am thrilled to have the opportunity to assist with this work. Ensuring that an organisation’s operations, governance and finance processes run smoothly creates the stability necessary for sustainable growth. Continuing to add value to members will help the Association to expand its influence and impact and I look forward to contributing to delivery of the strategy and business plan.
