Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 | 59 Plus, Kerri and the team are concerned about the environment too, trying to be as sustainable as possible, utilising compostable PPE and providing eco-friendly keepsakes. With an open and transparent culture, the close-knit team works well together – communicating effectively and ensuring that the customer is always the highest priority. The dedicated staff have undertaken extensive and continuous training to ensure that they are up to date with the latest techniques in order to continue to offer customers the very best experience, and all policies and procedures are constructed and audited in line with the regulatory body, the Care Quality Commission. “We are a small, family-run business, not a franchise,” elaborates Kerri. “Therefore, we are also very keen to support and promote other small businesses that are also relevant to our customer’s needs, for example, local pregnancy yoga and hypno-birthing groups and classes.” Recently, First Glimpse was recognised in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 and bestowed with the prestigious title of Best Emerging Ultrasound Scanning Clinic 2022. Having grown organically through word-ofmouth since its inception, 2022 has been the clinic’s busiest year to date. Now, Kerri and the team are looking forward to seeing what the future has in store. “This started as a dream of ours, with four friends one summer evening wanting to offer an unrivalled service and experience and provide memories to hold on to. We are already grateful to the wonderful people that have, and still, support us and to our amazing customers who we have met along the way.” We are sure that First Glimpse will continue creating that first connection between parent Sharing in someone’s happiness is just one of the perks of the job for Kerri Carroll and Laura Burn– after making their dream a reality and setting up First Glimpse, a pregnancy scanning clinic. We find out more about the company and its remarkable journey as it gains recognition in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022. First Glimpse is a private pregnancy ultrasound bonding clinic offering early gender 3D and 4D scans to pregnant women. As a non-medical establishment, the company focuses on providing families the time to bond with their babies prior to birth, providing an experience that is relaxed, informative, and personal. Kerri Carroll, the one of the company Founders, tells us more about the service that is offered to clients. “Our core values and mission are to provide a safe environment for our customers and their families to attend where they are genuinely cared for, with a service that is well led and responsive to their needs,” she begins. “Customers have stated they come back to us because of the service we provide, how informative we are, the friendly atmosphere we have and the memories we give them.” The First Glimpse journey started with friends telling Kerri about their 4D scan experience and what a unique and treasured experience it was, highlighting how much happiness this service had brought to them. Therefore, Kerri decided to look into setting up her own clinic in order to bring this special experience to more people. “When Covid hit, we were hearing stories of parents and loved ones who were not able to attend these moments they could never get back,” she states. “It made us realise just how important private scan services are and that is when we decided that our First Glimpse dream needed to become a reality!” From research conducted by the clinic and its staff, First Glimpse differentiates itself by providing longer appointment times which allows customers valuable bonding time with their babies, as well as flexible opening hours to ensure everyone, such as family members, can attend.
