DIAL-AN-ANGEL Adelaide celebrates 20 years!
12th May 2008
With a $200 bank loan, Dena Blackman founded the first DIAL-AN-ANGEL office on Sydney’s North Shore over 41 years ago. DIAL-AN-ANGEL grew quickly from a one person, one-telephone office to 12 offices nationwide. The Adelaide office was opened in May 1988 by Pam Jacobson who built up a very successful business assisting families and corporations with home help, as well as caring for the elderly and people with disabilities in the community.
The current franchisees, David and Prue Sutton, took over on 27 April 2004 and have just celebrated their fourth anniversary. David Sutton said, “The key to the success of DIAL-AN-ANGEL is the stringent recruitment process when recruiting our Angels. We are continually striving to recruit only the best as we continue to keep our standards high. No applicant is referred for work until all security checks are completed.”
To this day DIAL-AN-ANGEL continues to register only suitably skilled and caring Angels. David believes the work is perfect for mothers to schedule around their family’s commitments. “We need to register new Angels to cope with the growing demand. Applicants can be mums with grown children or active grandparents who enjoy driving, working in the garden and around the home. Angels may elect to work any three hours or more - on days and at times which suit them. It’s even their choice whether they work during school vacations,” says David.
From relatively unsophisticated beginnings, DIAL-AN-ANGEL has developed an enviable professional reputation as the leader in home and family care across Australia. David acknowledges that the business relies on the many loyal clients over the years and the Angels who are prepared to give 100%. “I would just like to say a big Thank You to everyone who has contributed to our first 20 years,” adds Prue.
