Staff and residents at Barchester’s Magnolia Court Care Home in Hampstead are celebrating with their favourite visitor, local hairdresser Ian Green, who has been looking after their barnets for an amazing 26 years. Everyone at the home is so grateful to Ian for his long service and dedication that they have thrown him a party in his honour and given him a Long Service Award to thank him for all his hard work.

Ian started coming to Magnolia Court in June 1997 and has visited faithfully every week since come rain or shine to ensure all the residents look their very best. Everyone at Magnolia Court is so grateful to Ian for tending everyone’s locks so beautifully over the last 20 years that they couldn’t let the occasion go unmarked!

Octavian Stanciu, General Manager of Magnolia Court said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 26 years of loyal service with Ian. He has demonstrated his dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents year after year. I speak for all of us here at Magnolia Court when I say that I’m looking forward to many more years of working with him – we couldn’t imagine life without him!”
