Wow!! What a team we are!! I'm beyond proud!!
Last night was a truly unforgettable evening for all of us at Support at Home.
I am incredibly proud to share that Support at Home was named Family Business of the Year 2026 at the Halton Business Awards.
I was also deeply honoured to receive the Highly Commended Award in the Business Leader of the Year category.
As we wait for the official photographs, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what this means to me personally.
Fifteen years ago, Support at Home began in my own bedroom, with little more than determination, passion and a belief that people deserved outstanding care delivered with kindness, dignity and respect. I didn't come from a business background, I haven't followed a traditional route into leadership, and everything I know about building and running a business has been learned through experience, hard work, mistakes, resilience and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing.
To be recognised as a business leader after starting from such humble beginnings is something I find incredibly humbling. It is a reminder that with passion, perseverance and the right people around you, anything is possible.
However, whilst my name may have been attached to the award, neither achievement belongs to me alone.
Support at Home has always been built on family values. Family is at the heart of everything we do. Whether that's the families of the people we support, my own family who have built this business with me and stood beside me throughout this journey, or the incredible team who have become an extension of our family.
Winning Family Business of the Year means so much because it recognises exactly who we are. We care for one another, we support one another through challenges, we celebrate successes together, and we share a common purpose of making a positive difference in people's lives every single day. That's something special and I am so bloomin' proud of what we have! 💕
To every member of the Support at Home team, thank you. Your compassion, commitment and dedication are what make this company exceptional. I am endlessly proud of what we have built together.
I don't mean to brag, but we literally are the best team ever!!
Nicola Elisa Moriarty - Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for representing me and the company at the ceremony and every day and thank you for being an amazing Business Leader too.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years, from the people we support and their families to our partners, friends and supporters. Your trust has allowed us to grow from a small business run from a bedroom into an award-winning organisation that continues to make a difference across our communities.
Last night was a moment to pause, reflect and feel proud. Today, we get back to doing what we do best – supporting people to live their lives the way they choose.
Official photos and celebrations to follow, but for now, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Nicola Beal 🎉🥳
