Who is Starla Services?
Starla Services is owned by Carla Lowndes, her background is in marketing and trade-show organisation – so solving problems and getting things done effectively are key skills.
​
Experience of helping family members navigate the complexities of daily life made Carla realise that her conscientious and compassionate approach can offer reassurance to other people and enable them to retain their independence for as long as possible.
​
Now that most services default to online transactions and older age may mean previously everyday tasks have become challenging, having access to a trustworthy capable person to help can enable you to continue doing what you want to do, for as long as possible.
​
