Louise took a foundation degree in graphics and media studies, followed by a photography degree, beginning her career in customer service positions. Later she entered the social care sector in a design and administrative role.

Joining the administrative team at Bluebird Care Cheshire East in August 2018, Louise says:

With over 30 years’ administration experience Julia joined the business in September 2014 having worked as a civil servant for MAFF/Defra for almost 25 years in a variety of departments including Finance, Personnel and Grants & Subsidies.

Joanna Lee is the owner and operator of Bluebird Care (Cheshire East). The office opened in July 2007, and was one of the earliest in the Bluebird Care network which now has a very strong presence across the UK.

From an early career in nursing, Joanna then spent a number of years in the pharmaceutical sales industry, taking further business and management qualifications. She then went on to manage regional and national hospital sales teams providing medical devices into operating theaters and intensive care units.

When it came time for a venture of her own, Bluebird Care was the exact match for Joanna, enabling her to bring together the experiences of her career to date. The caring attributes associated with nursing added to strong management and leadership skills giving Joanna the necessary insight to direct a busy care service.

Bluebird Care’s principles of high quality care provision, on time, every time accorded with Joanna’s own objectives; to establish an outstanding care service, unrivalled in its continual commitment to excellence in serving the local people of her community.

Despite having now built a sizeable operation, this commitment remains with every new customer treated with dignity and respect, welcomed with open arms to the “Bluebird family”.

Whatever the age or the care requirements of the customer, Joanna firmly believes in looking beyond disability or the changing needs which can come with advancing years.

Everyone is treated as the unique individual that they are, never forgetting that it is a privilege to meet some very wonderful people and be able to help them live life to the full with the support of the service.

It has been, and continues to be the most rewarding role Joanna has held in her career to date!
