Our administrative team support Matt in managing the practice. His vision and dream for continual practice development can only be achieved with the help of these unsung heroes. They are truly committed to their roles and are responsible for overseeing the smooth running of the practice
Liz has been in the veterinary industry since 1994. She trained as a riding instructor before embarking on a career as a veterinary nurse, qualifying in 1997. She has been with us since 2005 and is passionate about the practice. She takes pride in educating our clients so they can educate others about pet care. Liz is an excellent communicator and works hard to make sure both our clients’ and team’s needs are met.
Liz adores her 4 cats – Sox, Marmite, Little Boy and Squidward but she also has a very talented dog, Piper. She enjoys keeping fit, walking Piper and reading. Liz freely admits she would love to be a beauty therapist and practices at home regularly – thankfully, only on herself!
Jenny qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2009. She began her career in a local Veterinary Hospital, gaining a wealth of experience before joining our team. Jenny has become a clinical coach, examiner and more recently one of our two nursing manager. Jenny’s passion for wildlife is infectious and her knowledge of the subject is fantastic.
Jenny is a devoted Mum, both to her children and her cheeky cats, Marley and Joey. She once considered a career change to midwifery but thankfully chose to remain with the team.
Chloe was born in England, moved to Australia when she was 13 and returned to the UK in 2013. Veterinary nursing is in the family as 2 of her sisters are also vet nurses (her older sister Jenny is part of our team). Chloe’s love for nursing began at The Cat Protection Centre. Once she returned to the UK she intended to locum with us but as with many others, she stayed permanently.
Chloe tells us that she loves coming in to work everyday! Her 2 cats, Sonic and Athena keep her on her toes and she spends her spare time enjoying motocross and snow boarding. Chloe became a mother to Harper in 2018 and we were delighted to welcome her back as a nursing manager.
Helen qualified as a veterinary nurse from Brinsbury College in 1998. When she started at Arun Vet Group it was a mixed practice and she really enjoyed the variety of work, especially the farming side. As the practice evolved, Helen progressed and moved into a management role. She loves the practice and its team spirit but does sometimes wonder if she might have been pursued the life of a farmer.
Helen has a variety of animals at home, including 2 labradors, 2 guinea pigs, 2 gerbils and 4 fish. She enjoys gundog training and walking her dogs. One of her ambitions would be to take a balloon flight over the Serengeti National Park at sunrise and to walk the Inca Trail.
