Director & Co-Founder
Claudio Duran
"Originally from Chile, I moved to the UK in 1985. Over the years, I've worked as a technician, franchise owner, and completed a Diploma in Business from the University of Bedfordshire in 1992. In 1994, my spouse Clare and I founded ENA Care Group Ltd, inspired by our personal caregiving experiences. I further enhanced my qualifications with a Master’s in Business Administration in 2001.
​
At ENA Care Group Ltd, I've held several key roles, including finance and Registered Manager. I've also been actively involved in charity, serving as Company Secretary and Treasurer for organisations such as the Anglo Chilean Society and the Anglo Latin-American Foundation, among others. My public service includes 12 years as a local Councillor, overseeing finance, planning, and human resources committees.
​
Additionally, I've been an England Volleyball Association Referee and was honored with the Freedom of the City of London in 2014. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a proud father of seven, with seven amazing grandchildren."
Director & Co-Founder
Registered Manager
Clare Duran
I founded ENA with Claudio in 1994 and feel proud we are still here, one of the few original family owned care providers.
It has been an interesting journey, with bumps along the way. Especially this last decade with challenges that none of us expected disrupting the recruitment of staff. Things are looking up now with the access to international workers that has enabled us to have plenty of much needed carers. I am enjoying handing the reins over to others now though but still have a keen interest in ensuring that we are striving to be one of the best care companies in the UK.
I love the outdoors spending time with my dog, a German Shepherd. Sports is also something I am pursuing such as running, walking and tennis and lots more hoping to stay fit & well.

In 2022, I was thrilled to join the ENA family as a Care Manager. Working within the realm of community-based live-in care has been profoundly fulfilling, offering opportunities to make a meaningful impact in ensuring the safety of vulnerable adults and enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own homes.

As of summer 2023, I've transitioned to the New Business Team at ENA Care Group.

Trainer
Kirsty Grogan
"I joined ENA in October 2020 as a training consultant, prior to this I worked in the sector for 10 years. I worked my way up from a domiciliary carer to a manager, from there I found my passion for teaching and became a trainer in the care sector. This combined both my passion for care and teaching others.
​
What I love most about my role is that I can utilise the skills I learned as a carer in the learning environment and help stretch and challenge learners to develop their own knowledge, skills and confidence in their role. Working at ENA has been an amazing journey so far and that's a testament to the amazing people in my team. I can't wait to see where my career takes me from here."

When I joined ENA in March 2024, I was excited to have the opportunity to share my expertise and impact knowledge among the care staff. I believe that continuous learning and development are essential in ensuring that healthcare professionals can deliver the highest quality of care to their patients. Through my role as an assessor and IQA, I have been able to help care staff improve their skills and knowledge, ultimately enhancing the level of care they provide.
My qualifications speak to my dedication to continuous learning and professional development. I have acquired a range of qualifications, including the Assessor award, Internal Quality Nominee, BSc in chemical science, MBA in administration, L5 leadership and management in care and young people services.

Trainer
Daisy Dartnell
"I started working as a training coordinator for ENA in June 2020. I began my career in health and social care by chance. I was young and volunteered at my local charity store to enable individuals who were living with a learning disability to achieve a paid role through the adapted training I provided them. I dedicated the next ten years to gaining knowledge, skills, and experiencing every side of social care — from supported living, learning disabilities to substance misuse, and of course my favourite subject Dementia.
I now get to support individuals not only gain the skills to provide quality care, but I also get to see the impact their care has on the individual they care for. I like to engage care staff to acknowledge the importance and value of their role as well as giving them the skills and confidence needed to provide the outstanding care ENA delivers."
