Ann Taylor, the visionary CEO of Hilton Nursing Partners, takes centre stage in February’s edition of Kent Life Magazine, offering readers a rare glimpse into the driving force behind one of the UK’s best workplaces for women, voted by Great Place To Work®,.

In an in-depth article, Ann shares her personal and professional journey, shedding light on the challenges she has faced and the lessons she has learned along the way.

From Passion to purpose Ann’s inspiration for starting Hilton Nursing Partners was deeply personal. A firm believer in compassionate, person-centred care, she sought to revolutionise hospital discharge care after a deeply traumatic experience with her own mother’s care. This coupled with her desire as a working mother to create a business that offers security and flexibility for team members laid the foundation for Hilton Nursing Partners, now a leading name in the industry.

Under Ann’s leadership, Hilton Nursing Partners has not only transformed lives but also earned accolades for its workplace culture. Recently named one of the UK’s best workplaces for women, and two further awards for Best Workplaces for Development and UK Great Place to Work, the company has set a benchmark for inclusivity and empowerment. Ann attributes this achievement to her team’s dedication and a culture that values every voice.

“A supportive environment isn’t just good for morale; it’s essential for delivering outstanding care,” Ann said. “When team members feel valued and empowered, they bring their best selves to work every day.”

Ann’s journey hasn’t been without obstacles. From navigating the complexities of the healthcare system to tackling stereotypes about women in leadership, she has faced her share of challenges. Yet, Ann views these hurdles as opportunities to grow.

“Resilience is key,” she shared. “Every challenge has taught me something new about myself and the business. The key is to stay focused on your mission and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.”

For aspiring businesswomen, Ann’s advice is both practical and inspiring.

“Be clear about your goals and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your vision.”

Ann remains committed to her mission of redefining care in the UK. Her vision extends beyond her company, aiming to inspire systemic change in how the nation approaches healthcare and post-hospital recovery.
