About Harbour Healthcare

Hi, I am Andrew Worsley.

I initially had a retailing background – food retailing, with one of UK largest supermarket chains. Later, I moved into environmental and humanitarian activities and was Managing Director of a group of Companies delivering healthcare and education into developing regions in West Africa and northern India. We also engaged in massive tree planting on the Sahara Desert fringe to prevent desertification and protect precious farmland for subsistence communities. I still have an association with these organisations and the good work is ongoing.

I have been engaged in the UK residential care home business since 2006 and had senior positions in two major UK care home Companies. It was back in 2011 that I acquired our first two care homes and launched Harbour Healthcare. This was very much a family affair, with my wife Margaret, working in the homes and my three sons taking on all the other back-office and leadership roles.

The Harbour Healthcare organisation has continued to grow and prosper and has benefited from the addition of valued Board members who have helped to create the highly respected brand that Harbour is today.

I love the countryside and animals – and I am devoted to my two dogs and four cats! When not cuddling pets, I am usually found in the gym or on the squash court where I still play competitive league squash. Since September 2019, Margaret and I have the joy of being Grandparents, so life is not likely to be boring anytime soon

Hi, I’m Ashley Worsley.

I am the CEO and a Company Director at Harbour Healthcare.

Although Harbour Healthcare has now grown significantly over the last 11 years, we are still very much a family-owned and run business that incorporates family values into everything that we do.

I studied Business Management at University and shortly after graduating secured a position on a Graduate Scheme with one of the world’s leading human resource consulting organisations.

Whilst on the Graduate Scheme, the opportunity arose to help create Harbour Healthcare. I started as an Operations Manager. As with most family businesses that are just starting up, my role had a wide scope; it encompassed not only Operations but HR, IT, Procurement, and often a bit of gardening and maintenance when required. It was certainly hands-on! As the business grew, I became the Company Operations Director in July 2015, and Since June 2019, I have been the CEO and Company Director.

Outside of work, I am a fan of football and I love to travel; I have now been to 60 counties so far and I will eventually see them all. I’m currently a blue belt at Brazilian jiu-jitsu and I love to play golf.

Hi, I’m Peter Benham, the Managing Director at Harbour Healthcare.

I started my career in healthcare at a local nursing home at the age of 16, working in the kitchen.

I went on to train as mental health nurse, and have worked in various related healthcare roles for over 20 years.

I have been with Harbour Healthcare since 2015, originally joining the company as a Regional Manager and progressing to Ops director in January 2020. I am passionate about us providing great care, building a great team and having a little fun along the way.

Harbour Healthcare is a special place to work with a real sense of family values. I am proud to work for the company and all we have achieved in recent years.

Outside of work I am supported by my ever-patient wife and best friend, Lucy. We enjoy socialising, food and holidays. We have a miniature schnauzer called Boris who can occasionally be found accompanying me in our homes.

Hi, my name is Simon Worsley. I am the Finance Director of Harbour Healthcare Ltd.

I started my working life in retail and left my job as Divisional Manager of the North West for Game Group plc in 2011 to start a new venture with my family.

It makes me incredibly proud to think of what we have achieved since 2012, growing from a small regional operator, to having 20 care homes up and down the UK. It's testament to the hard work and dedication of all the team members who work within our homes.

I am now the Finance Director of the business and head up a great team who continue to adapt and evolve as we add more homes to the business, implementing systems and process to ensure the business runs smoothly.

When I’m not in work I enjoying playing video games, watching sports and travelling with my wife.

I began my leadership journey in 2005 when I became a Regional Operations Manager, since then I have held many senior roles as Operations Director and Managing Director with large care providers in England, Scotland and Wales working in partnership with the different regulators.

I am passionate about the quality of care and the lives of the people who live with us, inclusive person-centred care is important to me as is supporting our residents to live an enabled and fulfilled life.

I am an inclusive, encouraging, and energised leader that promotes a positive culture to support our colleagues with career pathways and development.

I am married to a Naval Warrant Officer, we have five children who are all adults now and three grand-children; two of whom have been with us from birth and are an absolute delight; so my spare time is occupied with the usual clubs and hobbies our grandchildren attend. We love cycling and camping, walking our dog Tedi and spending family time together.
With a love of gardening, we spend as much time as possible outdoors digging or planting with the children and we have just acquired an allotment to extend this hobby.

I joined Harbour Healthcare in February 2022 and I am delighted to say that Harbour embraces true family values, committed to the best care possible for our residents. The values held are intrinsic in everything we do; humility, accountability, achievement, passion and integrity are all wrapped in the thread of kindness that runs through the whole company and I am proud to be a part of Harbours continued progress and development.
