Before Hayley joined the team in 2016, her passion was of a sporting nature. From the age of 10 years old, she played professional football for Hull City, where she progressed throughout the age groups. She was one of the youngest players at that time to break through into the ladies’ squad at the age of 14. Hayley played for the England team, but after a knee injury at the age of 17, unfortunately, her football career ended early.

Hayley then went on to graduate from university, and then completed her professional coaching awards to a UEFA B certified coach and worked for Hull City for five years. It was these hard-working and dedicated years that Hayley gained her leadership and teamwork skills.

In her own words, “I have worked for the company for just short of a decade, where I progressed throughout a range of different roles. I consider myself a strong member of the team after working closely with the directors for several years. This is where I gained most of my knowledge, which I utilise on a daily basis and project across the workforce, whilst maintaining a team culture throughout the homes”. Read less

Steve is an incredible people’s person and with these many years of life and working experience, this certainly helps him connect with all our residents.

In his personal life Steve enjoys many hours at his static caravan in Skegness and sails on his fishing boat in Bridlington. He has a strong farming background and lots of different hobbies including a classic car and motorbikes which gives him plenty to talk about with the residents from all walks of life.

In his own words, “With my many years of maintaining my public houses and social club, I am able to turn my hand to pretty much anything. When a resident wants a personal item repaired, I can usually help or know someone that can, which is very satisfying to see the smile on our residents faces. I really enjoy working as part of a genuine small family team and will be working with them all until my retirement”. Read less
