Team Leader

Hello, my name is Abbie Field. I live in Telford with my partner, but I am originally from Norwich, moving to Telford in 2004 with my parents and sister.  I work on Memory Lane, where our residents live with Dementia.

Katie Macey

Katie Macey

Activities Coordinator

Hi, my name is Katie, and I have a passion for travel and have been lucky enough to spend a year in India and South East Asia. I’m also a real foodie and very family-orientated. If I’m not at work, I’m at my daughter’s dance studio!

I started working at Wheatlands back in 2018 part-time within the housekeeping team after relocating from London to Much Wenlock with my husband and young daughter. My grandparents were from Much Wenlock. The town and the greater community are extremely important to me and has always had a place in my heart.

In 2022, I took over as the Activities Coordinator. Having a background in the hospitality industry, I wished to have a change of career due to having a young family. I now use those transferable skills on a daily basis here at Wheatlands. I have always had a passion for going above and beyond, which in turn allows me to enrich the lives of our residents through ensuring tailored person-centred activities, be it on a one-to-one basis or in group activities, giving our residents a sense of purpose and belonging. I thrive to ensure all our residents' lives are enriched through a varied activities programme, ensuring friends, family and our local community are involved on a regular basis.

Head of Maintenance

Hi, my name is Ash and I joined the Barchester team at Wheatlands in 2021.  The involvement in the role was amazing,  especially to work alongside such a great team.  I then progressed and started as Head of Maintenance in December 2021.  It is my delight and pleasure to be in this position and I pride myself on my work and friendliness, my job is great fun which keeps me on my toes all year round! The variety can be anything from working in the gardens to improving the home and spending time with the residents.  My favourite part of the home is definitely the gardens, in summer, there is a vast amount of flowers blooming in our extensive grounds.
