The director of a Harrogate-based home care provider has been given surprise recognition in a prestigious industry awards scheme.

Continued Care director Samantha Harrison was announced as the winner of the Outstanding Contribution to Social Care award at the Great British Care Awards in Yorkshire and the Humber.
