So far we have a name, a premises and even some nice new tops with our new logo on it. But what we haven't got is the rest of the team....
We are good for vets, as we have the above (left to right):
Me - Certificate holder and Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Internal Medicine
Cathy Leonard - Cockerpoo enthusiast with interests in Lameness and Dermatology.
Sarah Martin - Certificate holder in Small Animal Surgery (Soft tissue and Orthopaedics)
Keelin Hopkins - Certificate holder in Ophthalmology, Soft tissue surgery and General practice.

What we need now is everybody else:
Wonderful Receptionists.
A team of talented nurses.

This is a big adventure for us and we want courageous colleagues to come with us. It's going to be a huge challenge but we can't wait to build a new vet family that looks after each other and the community we live in.

Arguably, this is the toughest hurdle for most people who are thinking of starting a new practice (or even relocating an old one). Car parking is a must, visibility is always nice, the rest is down to your confidence in your builder (we have a great builder who I will introduce you to soon)

We looked at a number of sites around Whitchurch and Nantwich where I have worked for the last 20yrs and there was very little suitable. And then we found this.... 

Oooh, you like that don't you, I can tell. Yes, it's ugly, it's huge and it's available - only one of those applies to me.
This site was a originally a methodist's chapel (see picture below):

Time has not been kind to this building (and neither by the looks of things were the people who turned it into a green and yellow monstrosity). However, we have big dreams for it and a landlord who was willing to go along with them.
Next hurdle.... planning. Holy smokes, now that has been a hurdle!
