The CareTech story
Discover how CareTech grew from one service in Watford to a global leader in specialist care, supporting vulnerable people with 600 services and 11,000 employees
CareTech was founded in 1993 by brothers Haroon and Farouq Sheikh with a single service in Watford. Driven by their entrepreneurial vision and a deep commitment to improving lives, they set out to create something extraordinary.
From those humble beginnings, CareTech has grown into one of the UK’s leading care providers – and an international presence – through strategic property development and acquisitions. Today, the organisation operates over 600 services and employs more than 11,000 dedicated professionals, all united by a shared mission: to provide specialist care and support to the most vulnerable people in society.
This remarkable journey is a testament to the passion and determination of the founders and the small, committed team who believed in their vision. Together, they have built a business that not only delivers exceptional care but also sets new standards in the sector.
CareTech’s story is one of strong family values, innovation, resilience, and purpose – a story that continues to evolve as we expand our reach and impact.
