Peter Slough - Managing Director / Owner
Peter’s first experience arranging care was filled with frustration and anxiety due to poor customer service and a lack of support. This inspired him to create a better way. Now, with over a decade of industry experience, he owns and manages three London-based Bluebird Care offices. Prior to embarking on his journey in care, Peter earned a law degree and worked for an NGO in New Delhi, advocating for policy changes to improve lives. This passion for transformative change is reflected in his leadership of Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham which are rated as ‘Good’ services by the CQC. Peter’s mission is to empower clients to live well in the comfort of their home by creating the best in-home care and support. He prioritises delivering compassionate, professional care that he would trust for his own family, which is reflective in building his business largely through referrals and recommendations. With Bluebird franchise partner, Tim Rowland-Jones they now operate the largest multi branch franchise business within the Bluebird Care network, providing home care services across Southwest England, Oxfordshire and London.
Tim Rowland-Jones - Managing Director / Owner
Tim brings extensive business management experience to his role overseeing Bluebird Care Richmond & Twickenham. Before venturing into home care, he led a successful multi-channel retail business. However, his perspective changed when his grandfather’s dementia highlighted the urgent need for high-quality, compassionate care. This personal experience inspired him to open his first Bluebird Care office in Bath where they have provided a high-quality service for over a decade, achieving an ‘Outstanding’ CQC rating for the branch. Tim is dedicated to making a difference and ensures all carers receive advanced training, allowing them to specialise in areas such as dementia, post-op rehabilitation, Parkinson’s, and complex care. He is focused on matching clients with the right carers based on personality and expertise, ensuring a truly personalised service. His own father now benefits from live-in care, fuelling his on-going commitment to provide exceptional services to his local communities. With Bluebird franchise partner, Peter Slough they now operate the largest multi branch franchise business within the Bluebird Care network, providing home care services across Southwest England, Oxfordshire and London.

Sylwia joined Bluebird Care in 2009, having worked in a luxury care home setting managing a dementia unit, where she gained profound insights into the tough decisions families face when arranging long term care.

She firmly believes that people can receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. With a degree in Tourism and Recreation, Sylwia wanted to develop her skills in care and completed the NVQ level 4 in Health and Social Care.

She is passionate about delivering an exceptional customer experience that has a positive impact on people’s lives.
