Whispers Care Solutions, which is based in Colden Common and covers Fareham, Titchfield, Park Gate through to Winchester, received backing from the Dragons’ Den star as part of his ‘Small Business Sunday’ campaign, which seeks to promote small businesses across the country.
Whispers Care Solutions was founded in 2017 by Liz Gibbs, Stuart Brown and Di Jones, who wanted to make a positive difference to the way people received their home care.

‘It’s great to have support from Theo who has recognised our hard work and helped spread the word about what we do to his following. We love using social media to tell the world about our incredible staff, and the great work they do delivering exceptional levels of care to our service users.’
