Providing care and support to vulnerable adults in Worcester requires a strong, dedicated team and a reliable base to run operations smoothly. When Sarah Underhill and her colleagues at Radfield Home Care needed a new professional home, finding a space that was accessible, warm and welcoming for the whole team was a top priority.

After moving to home working following the closure of their previous premises in the centre of St Johns, the team needed to find a central location close to all the people they support. Their previous setup lacked running hot water and heating and the landlord found it very difficult to maintain the property when issues arose.

Looking for a hassle-free solution, Sarah and the team began searching for a flexible, fixed office in Worcester that could offer both stability and a professional environment.

“We viewed quite a few properties/offices before and after viewing Oak House. Debbie was very pleasant, showed us around the building and explained the lease arrangements. We liked the vibe of the offices and the people already here were very friendly. The office space was the right fit for us: professional and welcoming.”

Having a dedicated base at Oak House has made a significant difference to day-to-day productivity and business growth. From a productivity perspective, having a dedicated workspace has helped separate work from home life, making it much easier to stay focused and maintain a consistent routine with everything in one place.

From a growth perspective, Oak House provides a professional environment ideal for meeting clients and collaborating. Clients and visitors are always impressed when they visit, commenting on how friendly and well-presented the space is. The meeting facilities give clients confidence in the business and provide a comfortable, distraction-free environment to discuss projects.

The sense of community has been a major highlight. Being surrounded by other businesses creates a positive working environment with plenty of opportunities to chat, share ideas and build valuable connections that wouldn’t happen when working remotely.
