We opened our doors in 2016 and have been enjoying operating as an independent veterinary surgery ever since.  We attract clients and staff who are happier not to be with a corporate.  There are attractions to the big corporates but our clients prefer the smaller set up.  They feel that we are more accountable and are less profit driven.  There are, of course advantages to working for a corporate.  They can pay better, they can offer lots of perks, they have a well structured HR department.  The staff that join us and that stay are happier with the slower pace even though we are a busy practice and getting busier each year.  In 2023 we became an RCVS Training Practice and enrolled our first student.  We will continue to train nursing students to ensure we always have an RVN or SVN working alongside our vets.

We have a lovely modern building. It is compact and efficient for 2 vets and a full nursing team to work together.  We have enough equipment and skill sets to deal with more than just routine stuff and we try and keep referrals to a minimum.  Air conditioning keeps everything running well in the summer heat.

We are constantly investing in equipment and try and keep an open mind and are happy to welcome ideas that a new member of staff may suggest or that someone brings back from CPD.
