Thorrington care home hosts prestigious visitor

A care home team in Thorrington was delighted to receive a visit from the Deputy of the Cinque Port Liberty of Brightlingsea, to pay tribute to their hard work throughout the pandemic.

Team members at Care UK’s Silversprings, on Tenpenny Hill, welcomed Mark Wilby, and his assistants, Steve Archer and Charlie Heywood, who thanked them for their tireless efforts and delivered some festive treats for residents and team members to enjoy. 

The Cinque Ports were originally established by King Edward the Confessor to provide ships for the monarchy, and were later used by the Royal Navy as England’s first line of defence against the French. Now, the ports are used ceremonially, looked after by the Lord Warden, Admiral Lord Boyce.

Joanne Rix, Home Manager at Silversprings, said: “It was an honour to be visited by Deputy Mark Wilby of the Cinque Port Liberty of Brightlingsea.

“The last two years have been challenging, but it really has highlighted the dedication, kindness and hard-work of our fantastic Silversprings team, who continue to work tirelessly to deliver the highest quality of care to residents.

“To have this recognised by local people and organisations is wonderful, and I’d like to say a huge thank you to Mark, Steve and Charlie for stopping by to wish us well.”
