Lidder Care Promotes from Within as Newgate Lodge Expansion Moves Ahead
Lidder Care is proud to announce the promotion of two long-standing team members at Newgate Lodge Care Home in Mansfield, as strong community support helps drive major
expansion plans at the home.
From March 2026, Lee Swinn will become Home Manager and Tanya Meason will take on the role of Deputy Manager. Both have progressed through the ranks at Newgate Lodge, underlining Lidder Care’s commitment to promoting from within.
Lee has worked at Newgate Lodge for the past 10 years as Deputy Manager and brings more than 20 years of experience in care. Tanya joined the home in 2014 and has held several roles including Senior Carer, Care Coordinator and Care Manager.
Lee Swinn said: “It is a privilege to take on the role of Home Manager at Newgate Lodge. I am proud to lead such a dedicated team and excited for the future as we continue to provide the highest standard of care for our residents.”
Manjas Lidder, Managing Director at Lidder Care, said: “We are incredibly proud to promote Lee and Tanya into these roles. They both have a deep understanding of the home, a strong commitment to residents and fully reflect our values as a family-run care group.”
He added: “The support we continue to receive from the local community has given us great confidence as we expand Newgate Lodge and invest further in care provision for the area.”
Newgate Lodge has recently been granted planning permission by Mansfield District Council to expand from 60 to 84 beds, with work now under way.
The development will bring improved facilities for residents and staff, whilst the wider strength of the Lidder Care group, including Lidder Care, helps provide a joined-up service for those moving from care at home into residential care, or for individuals staying at Newgate Lodge on a respite basis.
Lidder Care has been serving communities across Mansfield and Ashfield for more than 30 years and operates Newgate Lodge Care Home in Mansfield, Lowmoor Nursing Home in Kirkby in-Ashfield and Home Care across Nottinghamshire.
