Positively A Better Way

Mark Rennoldson - Managing Director

Carla Paterson - Service Manager

Caroline O’Brien - Deputy Manager

Mark came into the care industry from a technical and IT background over ten years ago, because he wanted to do something worthwhile and meaningful. He started as a part time support worker for a private agency, but soon became disheartened by the way they operated. He then worked for the NHS as both support worker and Care Manager. When the NHS ended their role with support, he decided to go it alone, and as such Progressive Support was born.
“From the very start I wanted this company to be totally different, and to operate and treat it’s staff and clients in a much better way.”


Carla is a fully trained specialist nurse who moved into the care industry almost fifteen years ago. She has worked for several companies in various roles, but has never been satisfied with the way any of them have operated or treated their work force or client groups.
Carla joined Progressive Support as Service Manager over tfive years ago and has since been actively shaping the way the company operates and provides its services. She is a firm believer of fairness and equality amongst both staff and service users.


Caroline has been in the care business for over ten years. She started in home care as a support worker, progressing to Acting Manager. She then went on to be Learning Disability coach for several years before joining Progressive Support over three years ago.
Now Caroline is Deputy Manager, helping to oversee the general operations of the company, and aiding with the diversity of services we offer
