Meet the team

John's experience in the healthcare industry is complemented by 3 years in the NHS as Director of Service Development. His MBA and positions in senior management gave him a wealth of commercial and business skills and when the opportunity arose in 2007 he left his employer with Phil to set up Bluebird Care in Newbury.  More recently John has gained the level 4 diploma in Health & Social Care.

John and Phil are both actively involved in the running of the business and share responsibility for setting the strategic direction and values of the company.  With the success of the business in Newbury, John and Phil set up a second office in Hook in April 2012 to extend their coverage across West Berkshire, Basingstoke and Deane and Hart.

Tamsin has always been a people-focussed person so the move into person-centred Dementia Care has been a natural progression as well as somewhat of a passion. Tamsin is delighted to be able to continue using her specialist experience, skills and dementia knowledge, with our customers affected by dementia.  She sees supporting and advising their family members as an extremely important side of her role in this new position with Bluebird Care in West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
