Meet the Team
The people behind the care, across both of our registered services.
A Star Care Services (Solihull)
The Solihull & Birmingham team
Covering Solihull, Birmingham and the surrounding villages. Registered Manager, Victoria Sheppard.

Ajit Riar
Responsible Individual
Ajit is a vital member of our team. With extensive experience in the industry, he more than compensates with his unwavering commitment to quality care. After initially pursuing a different career path following university, Ajit realised that his true calling lay in providing care that truly made a difference. To equip himself with the skills needed to deliver exceptional care, Ajit pursued a Health & Social Care Level 5 qualification and completed it within a year. His dedication to quality is profound, and he understands that to ensure it, he must work closely with his team and remain engaged with our clients in the community.

Victoria Sheppard
Registered Manager
Vicky comes from a background that may seem unrelated – she was previously a Wedding Organiser. However, her ability to plan and coordinate with precision has transferred seamlessly into ensuring our client calls are met promptly and efficiently. Her diverse background highlights the adaptability and versatility of our team. Vicky's hands-on approach keeps her closely connected to our clients, allowing her to understand their needs and help ensure our care services remain consistently high-quality.

Pippa Verschoyle
Admin Coordinator
Pippa plays a key role in supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the business. As Admin Coordinator, she ensures communication, scheduling, and administrative processes are handled efficiently, helping both clients and staff stay supported.

Samina
Senior Care Assistant / Trainer
Samina has over 20 years of experience in the care industry and is a highly valued senior member of our team. Known for her warm and caring personality, she takes great pride in delivering exceptional care to clients. Now a certified trainer, Samina delivers essential training to new carers and provides ongoing support throughout their roles.
