The awards are now in their sixth year and recognise excellence and achievement in all corners of social care.
The winners in each category were decided from a shortlist of up to eight candidates.
Caring UK Awards director Dominic Musgrave said: "This year’s winners should be very very proud – the high standard of entries made it a tough job to select a final shortlist never mind a winner and runner-up in each category.
“Our awards’ night was a great celebration of the care industry as a whole and it was great to see so many businesses represented at the event. It was a wonderful evening and it was lovely to share in the celebrations of the winners.”
Mr Taylor commented afterwards: “This was a very unexpected win, but a brilliant way to round off our 30th anniversary celebrations. I’m delighted for the entire Parklands team.
"This is as much their award as it is mine, and they should be very proud that their reputation for excellence in care has been recognised at a UK level.”
The Caring UK Awards’ evening were held at the Athena in Leicester.
This is the second win for Mr Taylor in recent weeks.
Last month, he won Scottish Care’s Strategic Contribution Award.
