Meet the team
Johann, better known as Joe by his colleagues and clients, graduated from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 2004. He and his wife, Bonni, moved to the UK in 2006 after working in Cape Town for two years. Joe, Bonni and their two kids live with their extended pet family in Suffolk. Joe worked for a number of years in a practice in Suffolk before doing some veterinary locum work in Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire for a year. Joe took up partnership in 2012 in the Colchester Companion Care surgery and in 2013 opened up the Companion Care surgery in Martlesham, Ipswich, now Vets for Pets. Joe has a great interest in Orthopaedics and Oncology. He can perform some highly skilled and advanced orthopaedic procedures. Joe is a sport fanatic and loves to both watch and play sport as often as time allows which unfortunately is not as often as he would like to!
Growing up, my family always had a menagerie of animals, so I have been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I completed studies in Animal Husbandry and Zoology in Australia before moving back to the UK and working for the RSPCA for ten years. Following this, I worked in a Spanish veterinary hospital for eight years. I have been with the Vets for Pets team since we opened as Companion Care and I am now a qualified Veterinary Nurse. At home I have a live-wire little Maltese cross Luna, who I enjoy taking for walks along the river. I also love to cook and read interesting articles to keep me up to date with all the latest vet nurse topics.
Hi my name is Steph.
Hi my name is Steph. I have wanted to work with animals from a young age, so the apprenticeship I am undertaking at Vets for Pets alongside my vet nurse studies is really rewarding! At home, I have three rabbits called Rupert, Ronnie and Lola, as well as two cats called Muffin and Indie. When I am not studying, I enjoy spending time with my partner and socialising with friends.
Hello, I’m Millie. Following an apprenticeship here at Vets for Pets Martlesham, I have recently qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. Being a veterinary nurse has been a dream of mine since my Labrador Dudley became seriously ill, and the team here at Martlesham gave him a second life. I will forever be thankful for the opportunity to be a nurse alongside these wonderful people. I enjoy every second I spend here at the practice. As well as my Labrador Dudley, I also have a Bichon Frise cross Miniature Poodle, and a Miniature Dachshund, who are always up for group cuddles when I have a free moment!

Student Veterinary Nurse
I have worked in retail for many years (too many to mention!) and decided I wanted a change of direction. I jumped at the chance when the opportunity arose to work with the Vets for Pets team. I have had and array of animals over the years, but none at the moment . I would love a dog one day though. I enjoy the cuddles I get from our furry clients, which feeds my craving for now.
My time outside work is spent making memories, with my family and friends.
Before coming to Vets for Pets I worked in Hospitality for many years as well as carrying out some voluntary work for both the RSPCA and Suffolk Animal Rescue; fostering cats and carrying out home checks.
When I was given the amazing opportunity to work alongside the lovely team here, I jumped at the chance.
I have two daughters who adore animals as much as I do. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family which now includes a cat, a dog & two rabbits!
Before coming to Vets for Pets, I worked as a Business Administrator and Team Leader for a Healthcare Agency. I have always had a passion for animals, I have volunteered at various veterinary surgeries and also volunteered at a Greyhound Rescue Centre. When the opportunity arose for me to join the team here at Martlesham I jumped at the chance to do my dream job. I have a Jack Russell X Patterdale Terrier that I have had since a Puppy and if you've met me, you know I am a huge terrier fanatic.
In my spare time I like watching movies, listening to music, spending time with my dog and most importantly currently doing a full house renovation with my partner.
Before working at Vets for Pets, I gained my degree and I trained to become a Primary School teacher. Upon deciding that a school was not right for me and jumped at the chance to become a Veterinary Receptionist. I have always worked in customer facing roles and have had a lifelong love for animals so combining the two was an ideal option for me. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering with the Riding for the Disabled Association as their Social Media Coordinator and visiting the yard and spending time with the horses, both little and large! I love to immerse myself in a good book and spend time with my two lovely young cats.
Before starting at Vets for Pets, I was a receptionist in a hotel. I have grown up always being around animals so when I was able to join the lovely team here I was very excited at the opportunity. In my spare time I like to spend it with my husband and two children most of our time is taking up by football but when we are not there we are out walking our dog which is a nearly 2 year old black Labrador called Reggie.
