EMMA BONNEY
BRANCH MANAGER, PLYMOUTH
I joined Prestige in Plymouth in 2000 as Assistant Branch Manager which really helped me to understand the management and organisational aspect of providing care at home which I loved. The opportunity arose in 2005 to become Branch Manager and shortly after I became the Registered Manager in Plymouth. Whilst at Prestige I have achieved my QCF in Level 4 in Management and Level 5 managing services to support those at end-of-life.
My heart has always been in care and I have a true passion to deliver the high standards of care that means our clients can lead a fulfilled life and their families, and our carers are supported. I am proud to be working with such a wonderful team in Plymouth, whose focus is to ensure we deliver outstanding care and communication every day. I believe that enabling people to stay in their own home in familiar surroundings can have such a positive impact on their overall well-being – I find this very rewarding.
I am proud to be an ‘End of Life’ Champion, having achieved our ‘Six Steps’ Award with our local Hospice – St Lukes. We have maintained this revalidation year on year since 2011 and pride ourselves in delivering a high quality of care to people in their own home.
In 2019 I was delighted that the Plymouth team was awarded an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which was an absolute honour. It is even more special to be one of the very few home care providers in the area to achieve the highest rating.
SUE STOCKTON
Learning & Development Lead
I joined Prestige Nursing & Care In January 2022. I qualified as a Registered Nurse with a BA in Professional Studies in Nursing from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh in 1988, and attained an MSc in Nursing from Manchester University in 2004. I spent 33 years working in the NHS, 31 years of which was as a District Nurse where I was also a qualified Community Practice Teacher/Assessor and nurse prescriber.
In 2017, after a short stint working with NHS 111, I started work in the social care sector, firstly as a Regional Nurse, before moving into an Operational Manager position.
I have a passion for learning and development and am keen to working with my colleagues across Prestige to further develop this function and support our teams with reaching their potential.
SUE HOLLIDAY
Clinical Quality Assurance Manager
I joined Prestige in April 2018 where I have been given the opportunity to develop in my role. As the Paediatric Clinical Lead and Paediatric Safeguarding Lead for the company, I am particularly proud of the work we have done to further develop our paediatric training.
MANDY AIKMAN
Clinical Services Manager North
I qualified as a Registered Adult Nurse in 2011 at Royal Preston Hospital through the University of Central Lancashire. I have gained a wealth of experience in a variety of different settings, firstly in Intensive Care at Preston then through multiple different hospitals across the North West. I then moved into Renal care before training as a Disability Analyst assessing for Personal Independence Payments. Following this was the start of my community based nursing journey. I worked in a complex care nursing unit for 12 months then moved into Complex home care.
I began working for Prestige Nursing & Care in January 2022 and love what I do. I provided clinical expertise, training and professional leadership to the Blackpool team, to ensure the safe planning and delivery of high quality care to adults with complex needs within their homes and community settings. I take great pride in my work and my aim is to always ensure person centred, holistic care is delivered to our clients and families.
As of February 2023 I am now the Mobilisation Complex Nurse Specialist covering England and Scotland.
My areas of interest include Complex Care, in particular Tracheostomy management and care. I have always enjoyed teaching and mentoring new staff and students within my career. My aim at prestige is to ensure support and training is always available to our carers and team members.

Through our Awards programme, we recognise team members who provide compassionate care day in and day out, and we always aim to promote from within. Many of our carers go on to other roles within our company, such as care coordinators and area care managers.
