GROWING WITH PURPOSE IN BOLSOVER: MAGNA HOMECARE'S STORY

Across Bolsover District, businesses of all sizes are proving that ambition, resilience, and community spirit can build something remarkable. From pioneering manufacturers to care providers transforming lives every day, our local enterprises are shaping an economy rooted in innovation and compassion.

Through programmes like Growth Grants, Net Zero Innovation, Business in Bolsover networking and Apprenticeships, we’ve seen businesses elevate their skills, expand their services, and make a greater impact on the people they serve. These stories showcase the strength of Bolsover’s support ecosystem, and the passionate individuals who drive it forward.

One of those businesses is Magna Homecare Limited, a dedicated social care provider supporting adults across the district with everything from community access to specialist care needs. Founded in 2019, Magna Homecare has grown into a trusted, person-centred organisation with deep roots in Bolsover.

Why Bolsover? “A district with exceptional support and community spirit.”

For Magna Homecare’s founder, basing the business here was an easy decision.

“I chose Bolsover because I’ve lived here for years and have a strong connection to the area. Bolsover District Council offers exceptional business support—far surpassing many other local authorities.”

Bolsover’s supportive infrastructure, welcoming community and cost-effective premises provided the ideal foundation for a growing care business. Its central location and accessibility help the team deliver flexible, community-based services across the district.

But more than anything, Magna Homecare values Bolsover’s collaborative, people-first business culture.

“The area is becoming a vibrant and up-and-coming location, with hubs and activities for all generations. It’s the perfect environment for delivering high-quality, person-centred social care.”
