One of the UK’s leading home care providers has expanded into Preston to meet growing community demand.
Officially opened on Tuesday 8 April by the Mayor of Preston, Phil Crowe, Caremark will provide personalised in-home care service designed to improve quality of life and support independent living.
Services will include elderly care, diabetes specialist care, respite care, hospital discharge support, long-term and end-of-life care and more.

The driving force behind this local expansion is Muhammad Iqbal, managing director and owner of Caremark Preston. Muhammad is now building further connections, including with the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
Muhammed said: “I have been blessed career-wise. I’ve worked in HR, finance and operations, but I’ve never felt completely fulfilled – until now. Having seen the demand for home care services increase exponentially, I knew I wanted to help and realised the vast number of Preston residents I could assist by opening a Caremark branch in the region.
“I was aware of Caremark’s accomplished history of providing personalised care tailored to each customer’s unique needs, and this is what really appealed. Now that I’m contributing to the community, I’m giving back to the people who live here; I know that this is where I belong and what I was meant to do.
“With such high demand for care in the area, I’m now looking to hire more care assistants who embody the company’s core values of reliability, hard work, compassion, and empathy. All staff members are fully trained and undergo mandatory and specialised training to provide customers with the highest level of care. As a company, Caremark is committed to supporting employee growth and career development, offering various opportunities for professional development and providing a supportive network to assist with their growth and advancement within the company.”
