Our Team

My name is Chris Beer and I’m a director at Time2care. Prior to working at Time2care I used to own a Kitchen manufacturing company and employed over 30 people in our Bideford Factory, which supplied furniture all over Europe. I manage Time2cares emergency care team, working alongside the NHs and Devon County Council covering the whole of North Devon. I also have a NVQ in tea making and I’m in charge of making sure all staff have enough biscuits in the office when they come in for a chat. alongside making work fun. We can work in a stressful environment so a happy smiling face will always brighten up someone’s day.

My name is Karen, and I am the registered Manager of Time2Care. I founded Time2Care in 2011 along with my husband (Chris), sister and brother-in-law (Clare & Mike). I was at the time working at Barnstaple hospital as a registered nurse and decided I wanted to take a year out to set up a care agency to make a difference to people lives’ living at home. A year later after our first visit from the CQC, with the business well established, I returned to my nursing and continued my nursing career within the Bideford community nursing team. During this time with the district nurses, I saw how the need for social care was growing within this area, so In 2020 I decided it was time to return to expand the business to provide a safe and effective service to allow our service users to continue living well at home.

Hi, I’m Clare, Mike’s wife and also an equal partner in Time 2 Care. I do not have a day-to-day role in the operation of the business, but I am very much part of the major decision-making process, especially regarding the future direction of the company. My sister Karen & I grew up locally, we are a close family and I’m extremely proud of what the team and ourselves have achieved especially the daily challenges of running a successful Care Agency. Together we all offer full support and backing to all involved to help with the future growth of development of the business, to enable it to reach its full potential.
