Caremark attends the History of Parliament Trust book launch at Westminster Abbey

On the 22 nd   June 2015, the History of Parliament Trust, in partnership with publisher St James’s House Media, launched its new publication The Story of Parliament: Celebrating 750 years of parliament in Britain at Westminster Abbey.

CEO Kevin Lewis, Managing Director, Anne O’Rourke and Mary Wardell, PR & Marketing Executive of Caremark Limited, together with more than 300 VIP guests, including prominent historians, politicians and senior public figures, gathered to mark the publication of the Story of Parliament: Celebrating 750 years of Parliament in Britain, which celebrates the 750 th  anniversary of Simon de Montfort’s Parliament of 1265 – a key moment in the origins of parliament – at a champagne reception in the Cloisters of Westminster Abbey.

The Sussex based home care franchisor was approached by St James’s House Media last year with a view to being featured in this prestigious publication, with home care representing one aspect of social care as it has grown and developed over the decades.

Reflecting on the event, Anne O’Rourke said: “It is very exciting for Caremark to be part of this historical landmark, representing the growth and development of social care in Britain and to be featured in such a prestigious publication. The book launch was excellent and the venue of course, beautiful.”

Caremark as a company has been trading since 2005, but its founder Kevin Lewis has been involved in the care industry since the early 1990s.

The History of Parliament Trust is a research project creating a comprehensive account of parliamentary politics.   Written by a team of experts on parliamentary history, The Story of Parliament charts the rise of parliament in Britain over the centuries and explore how it has been instrumental in shaping the country as we know it today.

The Cloisters of Westminster Abbey was a fitting venue for the launch, with guests having access to the Chapter House, where the earliest House of Commons is known to have met in the mid-13 th  century.

“It has been a great honour to work with the History of Parliament Trust on this publication, said St. James’s House Media Director Richard Freed.  “Westminster Abbey was the perfect venue for the launch of a book that celebrates the incredible impact parliament has made through the centuries, from its origins through to the modern day.”
