DOCTOR DOCTOR!

Yorkshire social care entrepreneur Lawrence Tomlinson (47) has this week been awarded not one but two honorary doctorates in recognition of his outstanding entrepreneurial contribution to the business sector.

On Tuesday the University of Huddersfield awarded Mr Tomlinson the title of Honorary Doctor of the University and on Wednesday the University of Bradford awarded him the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Engineering.

Mr Tomlinson is the owner and Chairman of the LNT Group which has over 25 years experience in designing, developing and operating purpose built residential care homes for older people. His latest venture, Ideal Care Homes, which was established in 2009, operates over 1,100 beds across the North and Midlands with 1,000 additional beds being constructed year on year. http://idealcarehomes.blogspot.com/

Mr Tomlinson said “It is a real honour to be recognised in this manner by two separate institutions. My social care and care home construction businesses have all benefited from maintaining links with these local Universities.
