YHS Consulting (Trading as Krones & Steen Care) Secures Place on Devon County Council’s CP2374-23 Community Services Provider Directory Within First Two Weeks of Joining Care Growth Alliance

Big Sister is delighted to celebrate a major milestone for one of our newest Care Growth Alliance partners, YHS Consulting Ltd., trading as Krones & Steen Care, who have successfully secured a place on Devon County Council’s CP2374-23 Provider Directory: Community Services.

What makes this achievement even more exceptional is the speed at which it was accomplished — this tender win landed within the first two weeks of YHS joining the Care Growth Alliance, demonstrating the strength of our partnership and the strategic alignment between our organisations.

The submission was delivered by our internal bid experts, and the result reflects both the dedication of Krones & Steen Care’s leadership team — Blessing and Stardom — and the power of having a specialist growth partner invested in their long-term success.

A Message from Jill Hudson, CEO of Big Sister

“I am genuinely thrilled to see such immediate success for Blessing and Stardom. They are incredible partners — committed, driven, and deeply passionate about the communities they serve. From our very first conversation, I felt invested in their success, and this early win is just the beginning. We couldn’t be more excited to support them as they grow across the South West and beyond, and I know this partnership will achieve remarkable things.”
— Jill Hudson, CEO, Big Sister

A Partnership Built for Momentum

Through this framework, Krones & Steen Care have been awarded two Lots, giving them a strong foundation for delivering community-based services across Devon.

The company has already begun planning the opening of a Devon-based office, which will enable them to expand operationally and apply for the remaining Lot when eligible — a strategic step that will further strengthen their presence and capacity within the region.

This milestone represents:

  • The effectiveness of the Care Growth Alliance model
  • The power of clear growth strategy + specialist bid support
  • The ambition of partners who are ready to scale sustainably

Looking Ahead Together

We are honoured to support Krones & Steen Care on their growth journey and look forward to celebrating many more wins as our partnership continues.

Thank you, Blessing and Stardom, for being exceptional partners.
Your dedication inspires us, and we are committed to supporting your ongoing success — not just today, but for the long term.

Here’s to a future filled with opportunities, impact, and shared achievements.
