Julia, the founder of our company, is the driving force behind Rapidcare. Her journey is truly inspiring. She began her career as a nurse and later became the Managing Director of Fittleworth Medical, another prominent home delivery company. However, it was her entrepreneurial mindset that ultimately motivated her to take the step of taking over Rapidcare.


Julia's journey began alongside Kevin, who co-owns Rapidcare and played a crucial role in the company's early days. Kevin was more than just a co-owner; he was the first believer in Julia's vision. He worked in our warehouse and personally delivered parcels across the South of England and his dedication extended beyond that, as he actively helped Julia in spreading awareness about our company.


Together, Julia and Kevin are driven by a shared mission: to inspire healthcare professionals to recommend our services and to invest the time to truly understand the unique needs of our service users. Their dedication serves as the daily motivation for everyone involved in Rapidcare.

Ellen's journey with Rapidcare began back in 2014 when she first joined our team in customer services. Right from the start her soft skills propelled her through a series of different roles where her dedication and adaptability truly shone. It's no surprise that her contributions have recently earned her the role of Commercial Director.


What sets Ellen apart, though, is not just her professional accomplishments but also her genuine concern for people and her knack for creative problem-solving.


In Ellen's eyes, life isn't just about waiting for the storm to blow over; it's about embracing the rain and learning to dance in it. She carries this philosophy with her both at home and in the workplace, and it's something we can all admire.
