Meet the team
I qualified from Edinburgh in 1993 and have worked in Small Animal Practice since graduating.
I had my own practice for 18 years but with increasing paperwork and management demands, gave it up at the end of 2018 to get back to clinical practice.
I’m a very experienced medic and surgeon able to do a wide range of general and complex procedures, so there’s little that’s possible in general practice that I can’t or won’t do, but always with respect to the owners wishes.
I also love rabbit and ‘small furry’ medicine & surgery and I’m enjoying seeing the large number of these patients we have here as well as all the dogs & cats.
I intend to stay at Vets for Pets for the rest of my career and hope to see the practice flourish with what myself and the team have to offer you and your pet.
Hi, I’m Áine—a veterinary surgeon who graduated from Dublin University in 2011, with a special passion for feline medicine. Cats have always fascinated me—their quirks, independence, and charm. Outside the clinic, I enjoy keeping fit, exploring fashion, and spending time with my husband and our cheeky cat, Niles, who never fails to keep life interesting.
Hi, my name is Steven and I am the practice owner of Bolton Central and a veterinary nurse with over 15 years of experience in the veterinary industry. I’ve proudly worked at Bolton Central Vets for Pets since we opened in 2018. I’m passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care and look forward to welcoming clients and their pets to the practice. My wife is also a veterinary nurse, and together we share a love for animal care—both at work and at home. Life at home is just as lively—we’re kept busy by our two young children, a lovely dog named Arlo, and two cats, Eric and Chandler, who keep things interesting!
My name is Abigail. I am new to the Vets for Pets team after having a career change from the leisure industry. I am looking forward to being the first point of contact for our customers and seeing your fury friends. I intend to undertake further education in the future too progress to be a registered veterinary nurse. I have a Welsh section D horse named Saffron, three cats named Peppa, Terry and Gordon and a bearded dragon named Rango.
My name is Natalie, I have worked at Bolton Central Vets for Pets since May 2022. I starting nursing in 2019 and completed my training at The College of Animal Welfare while working at a large first opinion practice.
I have a keen interest in consulting and am currently undertaking a certificate in Veterinary Nurse Consults with the hope to be able to offer a wide range of clinics for our patients.
At home, I have a Chihuahua and a cat who are best friends and regularly go on walks together.
Hello, my name is Hannah. I’m a Pet Health Advisor here at Bolton Central Vets for Pets. I have always wanted to work with animals since I was younger. I studied Animal Management at college and then went onto do a degree in Animal Behaviour. I enjoy developing my knowledge on different animal’s needs and behaviours whilst working here at the practice! I have a Staffy called Ozzie and over the years have had several cats, guinea pigs and fish. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and friends. I also enjoy taking Ozzie for long walks.
As a Client Care Advisor, I’m proud to be the first point of contact for clients, helping to ensure every experience is welcoming, supportive, and stress-free. I’m passionate about providing clear communication, efficient service, and a friendly approach, whether over the phone or in person. Outside of work, I’m kept busy by my three wonderful dogs—Carlisle, Dennis, and Jesse—who bring plenty of joy (and just the right amount of chaos) to my everyday life. My love for animals and commitment to helping people go hand in hand, and I’m always here to offer a helping hand whenever it’s needed.
At Bolton Central Vets for Pets, we’re proud to be a locally owned veterinary practice at the heart of the Bolton community. Our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality care in a modern, welcoming environment — because we believe every pet deserves the very best.
Our fully equipped practice includes an in-house lab, pharmacy, digital x-ray and ultrasound, helping us deliver prompt and effective treatment all under one roof. With convenient on-site parking, we aim to make every visit as easy as possible for both pets and their people.
As local pet owners ourselves, we understand just how important your pets are — they’re family. That’s why our friendly team is dedicated not just to clinical excellence, but to building real relationships with the families we serve.
We’re here for our community, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends to our practice.
