Meet the team
I was born and brought up in Glasgow and attended Glasgow University Veterinary School. I graduated in 2004 so I have over a decade of experience in small animal practice. After graduation I spent a year as an intern in a referral practice in Essex before moving into first opinion practice in London. I spent the majority of my time in London working for a hospital-based practice where my duties included looking after the Metropolitan police dogs of south London. After leaving London I worked for 2 years in Aberdeen running a branch practice for a large veterinary group. After leaving Aberdeen I spent a year working and traveling in Australia and New Zealand before returning home to open the Glasgow Forge practice. We have now been open for two years and the surgery is just continuing to grow and expand which has been great to oversee. I live in Glasgow with my wife Sarah (we recently got married in Iceland September 2016). Also at home is my geriatric 3-legged rescue cat called Cheeky who features in the practice photos. We also have some new additions to the family…a ginger rescue cat called Grettir (Icelandic name for the famous Garfield), Sylvester and Larry. I enjoy the variety of small animal first opinion practice but I particularly enjoy discussing preventative health care with owners and dealing with skin cases. I am currently studying a master’s degree in ‘Advanced Clinical Practice’ part-time at the University of Edinburgh.

Hi, I am a Registered veterinary nurse and studied at Edinburgh Napier University. I completed all placements here at Glasgow Forge since September 2016 and officially joined the team in January 2019.
I enjoy all aspects of my job, in particular surgical nursing. I currently have two pets of my own, a black labrador called Kobe and a Ragdoll cat called Freya.

Hi, I'm Coleen. I started with Vets4pets in November 2015 having previously worked for Pets at Home. My first role was working on the reception desk and then moving up to Practice Manager. I love seeing everyone at the surgery with their fur babies, but I also love working with the amazing team at Glasgow Forge and looking after that daily running of the surgery.
At home I have 3 cats, Molly, Gizmo and Mosi and 2 rabbits, Murray and Fudge, so they keep me busy too!
I look forward to meeting you all..and your owner's...when you come to the surgery!
Hi, I am Teri, I am one of the client care advisors here at Glasgow Forge. This is my first job within the veterinary profession and so far it has been a really fun and enjoyable experience. I really enjoy meeting the clients and their wonderful pets...perks of the job!
I don't have any pets at the moment, but I am looking to adopt a little bunny in the near future.
