I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have been working at Abbey vets for 12 years. I started nursing 15 years ago and have been qualified for 13 years. I am responsible for nurse clinics and specialise in Diabetc and weight clinics. My main nursing passion is with our feline patients and this is an area I devote a lot of my time towards, I enjoy my job as it is varied and no two days are the same. I enjoy interacting with the clients and seeing our patients go home happy. I have two cats ‘Dimmy’ and ‘Delilah’ both of who I rescued. ‘Dimmy’ has dietary intolerances, which alongside his asthma and pollen allergies makes him a challenging pet to care for and also allows me to be on top of any new foods available which helps with my diet clinics. I also have two Guinea Pigs ‘Tulip’ and ‘Mollie’. Outside of work I am a Guider with 5th Abergavenny Guides, I find voulenteering with the Guide association as it is very rewarding and enjoy the challenges working with a varitey of ages brings!

I have been in veterinary practice since May 2008, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in November 2012. I have been with Abbey Vets since April 2017 and will usually be found in our lovely Brecon branch. Having previously been in mixed practice, I am now enjoying focussing on just the small animals and have a particular intrest in emergency work and imaging. I am a keen runner and compete regularly in cross country and athletics. I also own an ex-racehorse called Reggie and a Lab x Collie called Poppy, so my spare time is mostly spent rushing around trying to keep us all fit!

I joined Abbey Vets in 2005 as Administrator, having previously been employed in various financial and administrative roles for more than 25 years. My current position of Finance Manager is an extremely wide-ranging role and the assortment of jobs that I undertake during a "day at the office" means that no two days are ever the same. This helps make my job more interesting and enjoyable, and I get a lot of job satisfaction from it. In my spare time I like to relax and spend time with my family. I love cats and have two of my own at home, who like to keep me company in the evenings while I am relaxing after a hard day at work.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse at Langford Veterinary School in 1991. I joined Abbey Veterinary Centres as Head Nurse in 1994.

I also have two horses - Indie & Sox - and enjoy competing around the country with Indie who I bred myself.

Hi, I've been with Abbey vets since February 2016 as a receptionist in Abergavenny. My working life has mainly been in finance, so the change into being a receptionist and dealing with the public has been a delight. We have 3 rescue cats at home, all from Abbey, Sweetpea, Maximillian and Phoenix. Saffi, a 7 year old whippet, also lives with us.

Hello i'm Kate. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2000 whilst working at Abbey vets in Abergavenny and am very happy to be back working as a receptionist in Brecon and occasionally in Abergavenny and Tredegar. I'm very fortunate to live on a farm with my three dogs, three cats and a small flock of sheep. I'm kept busy with caring for my animals and farm work. You'll often find me in the sheep shed at lambing time!!

I am a busy mum of 2 teenagers with 8 years experience as a veterinary receptionist and I am lucky enough to combine my job with my passion for animals. I live in the beautiful Forest of Dean, which I explore every day with my bonkers Spaniel Tess. I also enjoy reading thrillers, keeping fit and family time.

Hello, I am Sarah often known as 'Jiffy' (my nickname). I work on reception in our Abergavenny , Tredegar and Equine branches. Before working in our equine branch I was scared of horses but having spent time with them, I have secretly fallen in love with them (but don’t tell anyone!) I enjoy my job as I see a lot of different things every day. I enjoy talking to clients and spending time making sure they and their pets are happy in our care. I have an interest in Birds of Prey. I love to help when they come in to us and watch them in the wild. Walking is another passion of mine. I love to spend my spare time on the beach with 'William' my Labrador and my camera.

I graduated from Hartpury College and became a Registered Veterinary nurse in 2017. I joined the lovely Abbey Vets team in January 2018 as an RVN. Having begun my veterinary nursing career as an equine vet nurse I have since transferred my skills to small animals and I really enjoyed the new challenges (and puppy cuddles) that come with smallies! After a short time away from Abbey Vets I returned in October 2019 as Practice Manager. This role combines my enjoyment of management with the veterinary industry and I still get to help out with the occasional cesarean as an added bonus!! Outside of work I can usually be found rockclimbing, trail running or fast asleep in front of the fire with my ginger cat Ron.
