Core Clinics wins Business of the Year title at prestigious awards
A Warwickshire clinic which counts top footballers and athletes among its clients is celebrating a prestigious award.
Core Health and Wellness, which operates two sites in Warwick and Hatton, won the Business of the Year category in Pride of Warwick District Awards. Core fended off stiff competition from businesses across Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth to win the accolade in the fourth annual event organised by Touch FM.
Angela Vossen, who along with her husband Dr Stefaan Vossen heads up a 40-strong team across the two sites, said it was the first time in the company’s seven-year history it had entered into an award.“When we started in 2009 it was just Stefaan. He didn’t even have a secretary for the first few weeks, until he employed a former patient who had asked if she could work with him. Even at that stage there was only one room for him to work from, plus a small waiting room. Within a few months, Stefaan, and Christine Heap (our receptionist who is still with us) slowly but surely began to grow the business – all by word of mouth initially.
“Today we employ around 40 people, including clinicians and the admin team (we call them our Patient Experience team). They’re an amazing group of people who are passionate about what they do. And this award has been fantastic. It has fired them up even more as they can see that the business is going in the right direction and we’re making a real difference to our clients and to our local community.”
Since opening its doors seven years ago Core Clinics has welcomed more than 6,000 patients through its doors. As well as its medical services which include chiropody, chiropractic, hyponotherapy, accupuncture and psychology, the clinic also provides aesthetic and weight loss treatments.
The business has reported a 20-30% increase in turnover year-on-year and is looking to continue expanding its team by a further five to 10 clinicians over the next 12 months.
The company works closely with local businesses in a bid to reduce workplace absence and underperformance through back pain, stress and other chronic conditions. It is also a sponsor of its neighbouring Dallas Burston Polo Club in Southam.
