Colin & Jackie Northey
Colin & Jackie are the founders of Goring Care Homes. It all started with the purchase of The Grange in 1986, soon to be extended in 1996 & purchased Lyndhurst in 2000.
Colin's career was in social work at various local authorities over the years, running successful homes for Berkshire County Council, and Jackie was a Sister in the National Health before embarking they set out on their own joint venture.
Colin is still very much active with the day-to-day running of the homes, but after 37 years at the helm, and at 84, he is semi-retiring in 2024 to spend more time with his wife Jackie, & finish off those Garden tasks that have been overdue for a few decades.
