WORKERS from eight local residential care homes have been celebrating career success by picking up NVQ certificates at an awards event held by Nantwich-based charity CLS Care Services.

Staff from Manor Way, West View, The Elms and The Waldrons (Crewe), Elm House (Nantwich), New Milton House (Alsager), The Cedars (Holmes Chapel) and Turnpike Court (Sandbach) joined staff from head office and more than 160 colleagues receiving awards.

They were all attending the event held at the Fir Grove Hotel in Warrington.

On a day of double celebration, all the South Cheshire area homes were also presented with their individual Investors in People plaques after CLS had reached the IiP standard.
