Summary

“Family values are things that are very important to us, and that’s helped drive the business.” In this episode we welcome Chris McGoff, Director at The McGoff Group. With over 45 years of construction excellence, The McGoff Group is a well established, highly experienced multi-faceted collection of like minded business which work together to develop and create community. New Care was founded in 2010 and is unparalleled within the care sector, with 7 operational care homes including Bramhall Manor which has a contract with the NHS and council in Stockport. In 2017 The McGoff group joined forces with Jeannie and Stewart Pickering to found Back To The Garden Childcare where the first nursery opened in Broadheath in 2018. During this conversation, we discuss: The mission of The McGoff Group and why they decided to add a nursery to the portfolio.  Why running care homes was such a strong foundation for creating a nursery.  The philosophy of the design for both the space in Broadheath and the new intergenerational concept in Lymm.  How the group have been supporting the NHS through a partnership to free up hospital beds for those who can be cared for in their New Care facilities and at the nursery taking care of the children of key workers and those who are vulnerable.  The obstacles they have faced during this pandemic and how they have overcome these, making them even stronger.  We also discussed what it’s like to run a family business and how the strong family values within the business has contributed to their success. This is such an interesting discussion hearing all about the businesses in The McGoff Group. I really felt his genuine passion and care for everything he does and how much he values the people that work with him. The McGoff Group ‘do things a little bit different’ and you’ll hear why.
