Meet the team
I'm Chris, vet and joint practice owner with Fiona.
I qualified from Liverpool University in 2009 and spent 18 months working in rural Scotland before moving back home to Yorkshire and eventually became a practice owner here in 2017. I completed a post graduate certificate in small animal surgery in 2022 and I'm a few months away from finishing my second certificate in diagnostic imaging later this year.
I'd wanted to be a vet from an early age having been brought up with loads of pets at home as well as being a regular horse rider when I was younger, these days I spend my time seeing clients in practice and performing as much surgery as I can get my hands on. I particularly enjoy passing on what I've picked up over the years to the newer generation of vets and nurses!
I spend my time away from work relaxing at home with Fiona and Ripley our rescue cat, I'm a keen amateur cook so I'm always trying out new recipes.

Hi, I’m Lisa the practice manager. I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2012 and joined the nursing team here in 2014. I became the practice manager in 2018. I’m particularly interested in cat friendly medicine and I completed the ISFM Feline Nursing Diploma. I also enjoy diagnostic imaging, particularly x-rays. To help with my role as practice manager I studied veterinary business management at Liverpool University.
From being young, I always wanted to work with animals and veterinary nursing was the perfect opportunity for me.
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, gardening and spending time with my daughter and friends.
What is your favourite animal and why?
Elephants – they are so big and gentle I just want to squeeze them.
What pets do you have and what are their names?
A black and white cat named Podrick.
What's the best pet name you've ever come across?
Thor and Loki - two very big Rottweiler crosses.
What is your favourite famous animal?
Timon from the Lion King
What's the best aspect of working for Vets for Pets?
Being part of a close knit team that are always on hand to help and give you advice. Also having the opportunity to continue training.

Registered Veterinary Nurse & Lead Surgical Nurse

Hi, I'm Kim. I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I qualified in 2019 and have worked in the veterinary industry for over 13 years. I completed the ISFM Feline Nursing Certificate and I have a keen interest in small animal dentistry.
Animals have always been a passion of mine since growing up in Zimbabwe and being able to make a difference to their lives is priceless. The role of RVNs is so varied and it is a wonderful community to be a part of. I have three cats at home and some newly hatched Indian stick insects!
Outside of work I love to be out in nature but also love to read and bake.
My name is Emily and I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I qualified with my BSc(Hons) in 2017 from Warwickshire College.
I became a veterinary nurse because I have passion for educating and offering support to clients during the journey of their pets care. My areas of interest are consulting and anaesthesia and I am a strong mental health advocate.
At home I spend my time with my two dogs Tilly and Fern and my horse Ares who I enjoy riding when I am not at work
I’m Leanne the Head Receptionist for the practice and I’ve worked here for 9 years now, prior to that I worked in the Pets at Home store for 6 years (I’ve worked in the same building for 15 years!)
I have 4 cats, all of them I’ve taken home from work as kittens, with 3 of them needing to be hand reared and bottle fed. But I’ve had many other pets over the years including rats, rabbits, a chinchilla and way too many fish to count.
In my spare time I like to play video games with my friends and plenty of crafting. The craft of choice changes very often and there are a lot of unfished projects… I’ll get back to them eventually!
Animals have always been at the heart of my life. From helping pets as a kid to gaining hands‑on experience as a student vet nurse and VCA, I’ve built a career around supporting their wellbeing. Now, as a veterinary receptionist, I’m the first friendly face clients meet, and I love making their visit as smooth and reassuring as possible.
At home, my cat Jackson is my favourite companion — we spend our evenings relaxing together, and he’s a daily reminder of why I love what I do. Every animal I meet brings a little extra joy to my day
Hi, my name is Emma and I am a Veterinary Care Assistant so you will find me either at the front desk on reception or I will be helping the nursing team around the back! I enjoy working around the practice and learning all the different areas, such as reception, theatre and our preparation area, I can have quite a varied day! I enjoy helping to look after our patients (or babies as we call them!). I also have keen interests in our lab equipment, surgical procedures and X-rays.
I chose to be in the veterinary industry from a very young age as I have always had a passion for animals! I have a pet of my own, she's a beautiful tabby cat called Summer and she is my absolute world who I would do anything for, she enjoys nothing more than her kibble, her blanket and a plastic spoon, a simple sweetheart! Outside of work, I like to enjoy playing video games to help me unwind!
