A company providing care services impressed the judges of a monthly business award.

Millennium Care Services Ltd was founded in 1998 with a single care home – but soon after found a niche market in offering support for adults with various learning disabilities through care homes, supported living, activity centres and domiciliary care.

The company attracts revenue from both public and private sources and has a number of different clients other than the services users, including family or guardians, local authorities and health care commissioning groups.

Millenium Care Services, based in Featherstone, has about 250 employees, but expects to increase the figure to 300 by the end of 2014 with planned openings.

The company was named Business of the Month in the competition run by Huddersfield solicitors Eaton Smith.

The award was presented at the law firm’s High Street offices to Millenium managing director Steven Clough by Alison Palmer, who was joned by the judges.

Said Mr Clough: “We are delighted to win this award that has recognised business excellence for over 20 years.

“We have a great team of people at Millennium and hopefully we can continue to help support more people in the future.”

The award is run in association with the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and government export support group UKTI. It is open to firms in Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield.
