Caring Peter building a team to help older generation thrive

SureCare Dumfries and Galloway is looking to create 12 new jobs in response to a growth in business.

- 

The company, which launched in July this year and is based at Grierson House on Bankend Road, Dumfries, was set up to introduce a new approach to the delivery of care following the personal experience of its leadership team in looking after their own relatives.

Peter Bomer, founder of SureCare Dumfries and Galloway, has a background in international business & marketing— including spearheading the growth of Johnnie Walker in Asia— and a history of successful independent ventures in China.

However, recognising a gap in the market for a service that enables older people to lead active, fulfilling lives at home, Peter set out to create a solution.

Peter said: "Ten years ago, I began splitting my time between China and the UK to support my parents. My mum was living with Alzheimer’s, and my dad struggled to cope. Later, he too was

diagnosed with dementia. I saw firsthand the challenges of both giving and receiving care.
