TechnologyHallmark Care Homes: Martin Murphy

UK care home operator Hallmark Care Homes has promoted Martin Murphy to operations director.
Murphy joined Hallmark in November 2020 as regional operations manager, following a lengthy career in the healthcare industry. He has previously held roles in NHS trusts and at numerous care providers including Four Seasons Health Care.
He will now oversee the operational direction of the group’s entire portfolio and drive consistency across the group.
Hallmark currently provides residential, nursing and dementia care to over 1,100 residents across 19 locations in England and South Wales. The group recently secured a £28 million development loan with Virgin Money for the development of two 80-bed care homes in Eastbourne and Bath.
Murphy said: “I am so pleased to have been promoted to operations director at Hallmark Care Homes. We have a fantastic team who go above and beyond to support the residents and provide high-quality, relationship-centred care every day.
“I firmly believe in the core values of this family-run group and I look forward to working closely with the newly promoted chief operating officer, Aneurin Brown, to drive the business forward and achieve our company vision.”
Aneurin Brown, chief operating officer of Hallmark Care Homes added: “Martin Murphy is an asset to Hallmark Care Homes and I’m delighted that he has been promoted into this position. I’m looking forward to working together to grow the business and enable older people to live life to the full.”
