We are delighted to announce that Baywater Healthcare has joined the Chamber as our latest Patron. This strengthens an influential network of organisations committed to supporting economic growth, skills development and community prosperity across the region.

With headquarters and a national distribution warehouse located in Crewe, Baywater Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading home healthcare providers, supporting tens of thousands of patients nationwide through specialist clinical, sleep and home oxygen services.

With a long-established presence in the region spanning over 20 years, Baywater Healthcare has grown from its Cheshire roots into a nationally-recognised healthcare business while maintaining its commitment to the local community and regional economy.

As one of the region’s largest healthcare employers, Baywater Healthcare says investment in the Chamber Patron programme reflects a shared belief in the importance of collaboration between business, education, healthcare and the voluntary sector.

Adam Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Baywater Healthcare, said: “Whilst Baywater Healthcare supports patients across the UK, Crewe remains our home and an important part of our identity. We are proud of the role we play as a local employer and are passionate about creating positive impact beyond healthcare.

“Through our partnership with the Chamber, we look forward to building stronger relationships across the business community and supporting initiatives that help Crewe and the surrounding area thrive.”

Baywater Healthcare has a workforce of 560 people countrywide, with more than 180 based on Electra Way in Crewe. Its warehouse facility is also based in the town.

The company has earned a reputation not only for delivering high quality patient care but also for its commitment to creating opportunities for employees and supporting initiatives that improve the wellbeing of local communities.

South Cheshire Chamber Chief Executive, Paul Colman, said: “We are delighted to welcome Baywater Healthcare as a Chamber Patron. Baywater is a fantastic example of a business that combines commercial success with a genuine commitment to making a difference.

“Having grown from its roots here in Crewe, the organisation has become a national leader in home healthcare while continuing to invest in local people, local partnerships and community causes.

“The Chamber looks forward to working alongside Baywater Healthcare and supporting its continued contribution to the economic and social success of South Cheshire.”

Baywater Healthcare is also actively involved in supporting local charities and community organisations, including its relationship with Cheshire Community Foundation and Cheshire Connect, helping to direct resources and support towards projects that make a meaningful difference to local people.

This commitment to social value, alongside its healthcare expertise and strong Cheshire heritage, makes Baywater Healthcare a welcome addition to the Chamber’s growing Patron community.

The company joins several high-profile organisations as a Chamber Patron including Bentley Motors, Cheshire College - South & West, Mornflake, Radius Payment Solutions, Reaseheath College and SG World.

🦙🦦 Today, we had the pleasure of touring Reaseheath Zoo for our Netwalking event! From alpacas to zebra finches, we got up close with some amazing animals while learning about Reaseheath’s impressive conservation and sustainability initiatives.

☕ After the tour, we enjoyed ome refreshments and further networking opportunities. These networking events are a great way to break up the usual networking format. They promote healthy mind and body with gentle exercise and natural flowing conversations.

It was great to hear from our Patron, Reaseheath College, about the fantastic work they do in our community and about the opportunities available to local businesses to work with the college.
