Meet The Manager
Gary Butchart is Service Manager at Lomond View.
Gary has worked within the Care Sector in different roles and positions where he began his career as a Care Assistant and worked his way up to Care Home Manager.
Throughout Gary's career he had many opportunities to further develop his knowledge. He took up the position with Holmes Care Group as Lomond View’s Care Manager in 2003, and built a very strong working relationship with his staff and is extremely proud of his position within the Holmes Care Family.

He also believes teamwork is vital to achieve the task at hand.
