Simplifying the Complexities of Care

Organising care for a loved one can be daunting, but our team at Gladys understands these challenges intimately. We've been through the trials and tribulations of caregiving, which is why we've created a platform that streamlines the entire process. This allows caregivers to focus on what truly matters - providing compassionate, personalised care.

Tackling the Real Issues in Social Care

"There are so many tools out there to make our lives safer and more convenient. Yet, when it comes to supporting vulnerable people, the process is often expensive, complex, and lacks transparency," says CEO George Robinson. "After 10 years as a Barrister, I found arranging care for my loved ones incredibly challenging. Too many people in the UK are struggling without the support they need, and this must change." At Gladys, we recognise that chronic care staff shortages are fueled by poor pay, lack of flexibility, and the unequal burden of care responsibilities, often falling on women. Our goal is to demystify the process of finding help while ensuring fair treatment for those providing care. We offer services at a reasonable price and support carers to receive a fair income for their essential work. By empowering individuals to make the right choices, Gladys is dragging the care industry into the twenty-first century.

A Personal Commitment to Change

“Watching my Grandma battle Alzheimer’s was traumatic for our family,” shares Alex, our Chief Product Officer. “Getting the right care felt impossible, with different carers showing up daily, unfamiliar with my Gran’s needs. The flaws in our current social care system caused so much pain that I felt compelled to make a difference. Co-founding Gladys was my way of turning empathy into action. Our platform is more than just technology—it’s a bridge of compassion connecting local, talented carers directly with families. By simplifying the process and fostering genuine connections, we’re improving lives and providing carers with the support they deserve.”

Our Values: Diversity, Inclusivity, and Innovation

Gladys is proud to be a female-led tech company that promotes diversity, inclusivity, and innovation. We’re dedicated to using technology to enhance the quality of care delivered to vulnerable individuals, improving lives one connection at a time.

Supported by Leading Industry Partners

Backed by the prestigious venture capital firm Antler, Gladys is positioned to redefine the social care landscape across the UK. This partnership enables us to scale our vision and reach, empowering caregivers and families nationwide. We’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of our platform’s pilot version this Autumn - a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionise social care.
