Brampton Manor Home Manager Wins at Suffolk Care Awards 2025

Brampton Manor Care Home in Newmarket is celebrating a proud moment as Home Manager Akhi Goswami has been named the winner of the Inspirational Leadership category at the Suffolk Care Awards 2025.

Hosted by Care Development East, this year’s ceremony took place on Thursday 18th September at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall in Ipswich, and was compered by renowned broadcaster and Loose Women presenter Kaye Adams. Speaking during the event, Adams praised Akhi’s “incredible team retention and unwavering support for his team” as stand-out qualities that earned him the award.

The Inspirational Leadership category is one of the most competitive in the awards programme, recognising individuals who lead with empathy, resilience, and a clear sense of purpose, qualities that Akhi demonstrates every day at Brampton Manor.

In response to his win, Akhi said; “I am so humbled and honoured to win the Suffolk Care Awards 2025 Inspirational Leadership category. I share this award with my wife, whose incredible hard work and support for our family allows me to do what I do every day. I also share this win with my amazing team at Brampton Manor and all the Senior Support Team at Boutique Care Homes. Your warm support and dedication are the true reason for this achievement. I’m so proud of us all.” Reflecting on what drives him, Akhi shared: “I was raised in a nurturing family where compassion was a way of life.” These values continue to guide his purposeful approach to care and leadership today.

Known for his open-door leadership style and genuine care for those around him, Akhi has created a culture of trust, accountability, and warmth. As one team member shared, “Akhi genuinely cares about his team and our wellbeing, and this shines through from him every day.”

His team describes him as someone who “exemplifies what it means to lead with integrity and purpose. His influence is felt throughout the home, from gestures of encouragement to the bold decisions that shape the home’s future.”

Under his leadership, Brampton Manor continues to flourish. The home holds a 9.9 rating on carehome.co.uk and recently achieved 99% team retention, figures that reflect a workplace culture where people feel supported, motivated, and proud to belong.

This recognition follows an already successful year for the home, which was recently named a Top 5 Care Home in the East of England and a finalist in the National Dementia Care Awards 2025 for its intergenerational work, bringing younger and older generations together through meaningful shared experiences.

Families at Brampton Manor regularly cite Akhi’s leadership as one of the reasons they feel so confident entrusting their loved ones to the home’s care. His approach reflects the values at the heart of Boutique Care Homes, a warm and loving family where everyone feels at home.

Speaking on the award, Ameet Kotecha, Founder and Managing Director of Boutique Care Homes, said; “Akhi leads with heart, integrity, and humility. His ability to bring out the best in those around him has not only shaped a truly special home at Brampton Manor, but also strengthened our whole community. We are incredibly proud to see his leadership recognised at such a prestigious level.”

Boutique Care Homes also extends heartfelt congratulations to all the finalists and winners recognised across this year’s Suffolk Care Awards. The evening was a true celebration of the extraordinary individuals and teams who make up Suffolk’s care sector, people who continue to deliver care with dedication, compassion, and humanity every single day.

Akhi’s win is not only a personal achievement, but a reflection of the values that drive everyone at Boutique Care Homes to deliver care so good, it’s unexpected.
