What Care Corner does

Care Corner Ltd is a privately held, family-run UK e-commerce retailer founded in 2009 and headquartered at Unit 6 Waters Meeting Industrial Estate, Britannia Way, Bolton, Lancashire (Company Registration Number 06630010; VAT Number 940205657). The company distributes care and mobility products through its online storefront at www.carecorner.co.uk, supplemented by telephone sales, stocking over 600 SKUs across 17 categories that include continence care, pressure care, patient care, medical supplies, infection control and PPE, housekeeping chemicals and equipment, bathing and toileting aids, bedroom equipment, falls management, and wheelchairs and evacuation equipment. Notable product lines include the Lothian Full Replacement Dynamic Mattress System, Devon Static Mattress range, Soffisof continence products, Clinell Universal Wipes, and 3 Ply Face Mask Type IIR.

The business operates with no proprietary technology platform, functioning as a retail distribution intermediary rather than a technology or product innovator. Core technical infrastructure comprises a WordPress-based e-commerce website, third-party payment processing through Sage Pay, and credit reference integrations with Experian, CallCredit, and Equifax to support customer credit accounts. The company does not publish a mobile app, does not expose an API or SDK, and shows no evidence of in-house software development, AI/ML capabilities, or patented technology.

Revenue is generated through direct product sales at unit and case pricing, with prices quoted excluding VAT. The customer base comprises two segments: individual consumers with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or elderly care needs (the primary segment, many eligible for VAT exemption on qualifying products), and institutional buyers including care homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities (whose purchases do not qualify for VAT relief). Distribution is limited to mainland UK with free delivery on orders over £75, same-day despatch for orders before 2pm, and 48-hour delivery capability; Northern Ireland customers are served via telephone with additional carriage charges, and the company does not ship outside the UK. Marketing channels include the e-commerce website, Facebook organic social, email and newsletter, a downloadable print catalogue, and an RSS feed.
