Meet the team

After graduating from the University of Glasgow in 2006, I returned to my East Yorkshire roots and worked in a small animal hospital for 10 years. I moved to Aldgate in 2016 and became a director of the business in 2019. I enjoy all aspects of first opinion practice but have particular interests in diagnostic imaging and keyhole surgery. Outside of work my wife and I are kept busy with our two young daughters, our pony called Smudge and our Patterdale terrier called Charlie!

I grew up locally in Nafferton, and attended Nafferton and then Driffield School. I spent a year working as an animal care assistant in the practice before heading off to the Royal Veterinary College in London. After 5 years in the south, I headed back up north. After graduating I spent my first 5 years in a mixed practice north of York before moving back to my roots in 2011. I enjoy being able to undertake all aspects of work at Aldgate and am just as happy calving cows as I am examining cats. I enjoy the challenge of progressing the practice and am always looking for ways we can improve the business and what we offer our clients. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with my family; having two young children, two cats and two ponies.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2010, I initially worked in farm and mixed practice in various locations around the UK.

I have been working solely in small animal practice for 8 years now and have made the move to East Yorkshire in 2023 to be close to family. Outside of work I have 2 young children to keep me busy and enjoy being outside on countryside walks with our dog.

I graduated from Edinburgh university in 2001 and moved to Aldgate & Driffield that September. I have always worked in mixed practice – I love the variety mixed practice brings & making a difference for animals whether they be pets or livestock AND their owners is what I find so rewarding about my job.

I returned to Aldgate this September, and am now married to a farmer and with a family of 3 children, a dog, rescue cat and chickens- life is never dull or quiet. When I can, I live to catch up with friends & family or spend time in my garden, and if I’m lucky I even get 5 minutes’ peace.
