Alex Williams
Director
With Alex’s background in business, he noticed the perfect gap in the market for an agency that provides a high-quality service with a personal touch. When he’s not in the office or meeting with new potential clients, you’ll find him on the golf course or enjoying a country walk
Kieran Porter
Director
A southerner in the North who has adopted the Geordie ways. If there is anyone in the market who can service and develop our clients better than Kieran, let us know. When he’s not bringing in new clients or managing the existing ones, he’ll be spending time with his daughter Iris, playing rugby on a Saturday and playing the occasional round of golf.
Stephanie Eastlake
Training & On-boarding Co-ordinator
Steph joined Standby to take charge of our new training Division. Focussing on a two pronged attack for new registrations, Steph will offer entry courses for individuals with no experience before they partake in ‘on the job’ assessments and courses for our experienced workers to upskill their current training profile. Steph loves making 100’s of calls a day, rumour has it that she talks in her sleep, muttering ‘hello, Standby Healthcare Steph speaking’
Rebecca Wilson
Compliance Lead
Rebecca is a veteran of Standby Healthcare and a complete compliance Guru. Making sure all criteria is 100% up to scratch, nothing gets past her when it comes to compliance. Rebecca enjoys weekends away and sunny holidays, often enjoying what the local establishments have on offer… usually far too much.
