I Qualified from Glasgow in 1992, joined Highgate Veterinary Clinic in 1995

I am principally involved in the development of the farm animal side of the practice and have in-depth knowledge on ruminant nutrition, embryo transferring in cattle, foot trimming, herd health planning and disease costings.

In 2001, I gained a Diploma of Bovine Reproduction, which recognises my expertise in cattle fertility and I regularly run training courses on the artificial insemination of cows. I’m also a registered user of the DairyCo Mastitis Control Plan and the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) North-West Livestock Programme.

I still take my turn in doing evening surgeries and enjoy operating on companion animals. My absence in the surgery on most days often leads people when they see me for a consultation to think I’m a new boy – which always makes me smile!

As a partner in the practice, my job also involves tasks common to the owners of all small businesses. I enjoy my work because of its variety and I get job satisfaction from helping people and animals with problems.

My spare time is spent with my family; dog walking, gardening, fell walking and cycling
