About Us

I am the daughter of Mick Taylor, the founder of the practice, hence I grew up with veterinary medicine around me, helping my father from a very early age.

I qualified from Glasgow vet school in 1976, and then spent a year as a postgraduate studying equine orthopaedics leading to an MVM. Following several years living in Newmarket working as a locum, I returned here in 1980 and have been here ever since. I have been one of the race course vets at Wolverhampton from 1980, Uttoxeter race course since 1988, I am now part of the team at Haydock and also at Aintree for the bigger race days such as the Grand National. I find all my job fascinating, but I have a special interest in equine performance/ lameness and in farriery (I am an examiner for the Worshipful Company of farriers).

I have ridden all of my life and own several thoroughbred horses. In my (limited!!) spare time I train point to pointers and hunter chasers; often having them from youngsters, breaking them in and then taking them through their training. I also breed the occasional thoroughbred foal. I live with my rescued lurcher Jasper, my whippet Tiny Tim and my partner Paul who manufactures saddlery.

I graduated from The Royal Veterinary College in London in June 2007 and joined Connaught Veterinary Group straight away. I joined the partnership in 2016. I currently work mainly for our equine department but do still do some companion animal work, spending my days out and about on visits and covering some evenings in practice. I have a particular interest in equine dentistry (with my equipment purchases being a running joke as ‘boys toys’ – the hazards of being the only male!) and I am part of the team that covers Wolverhampton racecourse.

Outside of work I spend my time cycling and I am currently on a fitness drive and spending my spare time running up the Wrekin to try and get the best time in the practice (being beaten by Isla at the moment but not for long!!). I have a wife, Beverly (also a vet at Connaught House) and two daughters, Faith and Constance. We live with our pet Jack Russell, Bobbie and our parrot Bertie.

I qualified from Bristol vet school in 1999 and worked in a mixed practice in Bedfordshire for three years, before moving to The George Veterinary Group in Wiltshire for the best part of ten years, initially doing small animal and equine, but ultimately solely equine. We moved to Shropshire in 2012, because we fell in love with the countryside whilst being here on holiday! The house we bought will keep our DIY skills and gardening skills busy for years to come. I have been at Connaught since the move.

I have two children who also keep me busy, a long-suffering husband who works in London, and a very daft retriever called Alfie who comes out on visits with me.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2002 and have worked at Connaught since I qualified. I have an interest in emergency and critical care cases, and I am currently completing a certificate in this area.

I own 2 border collies, 2 toy breeds and several cats. I enjoy teaching and competing in dog agility in my spare time. I live with my husband Keith and our young daughter Heather.

I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1997 with an interest in small animals and horses. My first job was in Stoke-on-Trent and I joined the Connaught team as an assistant in 1998.
I am now mostly to be found at our Kingswinford branch, although I enjoy my occasional weeks in the main hospital which allow me the opportunity to investigate and treat more complicated medical and surgical cases. I have a keen interest in ophthalmology and find eye problems fascinating to deal with, as well as finding the treatment of our smaller patients such as ferrets and other small furries very rewarding.

Over the last 12 years I have expanded my veterinary knowledge with training in more complementary veterinary treatments, such as acupuncture, which I have found to be of great use in helping animals with conditions such as osteoarthritis and spinal problems.

I have 3 cats, Trouble, a stray who was brought into the Kingswinford branch and 2 Maine Coon cats, Truffles and her son Zebedee. Outside of work I like to participate in a variety of activities, but most of my spare time is taken up with going to concerts to see bands perform live or doing Ceroc (modern jive) dancing.

I joined the team in March 2012 after having worked at another Veterinary Hospital in the north previously. You can now find me mostly at the hospital in Wolverhampton. I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of small animal practice with particular interests in internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, soft tissue surgery and canine behaviour. Giant breed dogs hold my affections when it comes to favourite patients!

I have a passion for the great outdoors and adore taking my two Great Danes, Bentley and Phillip, for long walks and cycles rides in the Shropshire countryside, and more recently the Malvern Hills after a move to Worcestershire. I love vintage cars and motorcycles as well as off-road motorsport, so you can often find me gazing lovingly at creations of the mechanical kind as well as the four-legged!

I qualified from Nottingham Vet School in 2016 and started work in Bromsgrove before I joined the Connaught team in 2017. I have a keen interest in diagnostics including ultrasound scanning and cytology, and I am usually found upstairs in the lab staring down a microscope! My times is spent at the hospital where I enjoy dealing with the inpatients and working up both medical and surgical cases.

When I am not at work I have a keen interest in dressage, I am currently trying to tame Kate’s feral hunters into dressage horses with varying results! I also try to run as much as possible (currently holding the fastest time for scaling the Wrekin in the practice, much to Andrew’s disgust), sing, and throw in the occasional skiing holiday!

I qualified from Bristol University in 2012 and have been working at Connaught House since May 2014, where I am mainly based at the Kingswinford branch. I have a keen interest in all aspects of internal medicine, especially feline.

Outside of work I have a border collie called Ted and spend most of my time walking him as well as competing at dog agility.

I graduated from Cambridge University in June 2015, and came straight to Connaught. With my parents having been clients at Connaught for over 40 years, it felt fantastic to be offered a job here. I love working with small animals and have a particular interest in surgery and orthopaedics.

Outside of work I love horse riding and own two horses, Sandy and Rosie. I also have a staffie called Nell, 7 cats (Izzy and Archie being the latest additions to the clan), rabbits, guinea pigs, budgies and a hen called Bob (poor Bob was mistaken for a male Turkey, who then grew into a chicken that laid an egg!). I also enjoy going to the cinema and travelling, having just got back from a three-month sabbatical travelling far and wide across the globe!).

Hailing from Ohio, I moved to London to attend the Royal Veterinary College. I had the pleasure of meeting my husband, Andrew, whilst at the RVC. I qualified in 2007 and moved to Shropshire, working in a mixed animal practice at Hollybush Vets. I joined the Connaught team in 2015, I work mainly in the Kingswinford branch but can occasionally be found at the hospital. I enjoy all areas of small animal practice but have a particular interest in surgical cases.

I now work part time to facilitate being a taxi service to my daughters Faith and Constance. When I get any spare time, I enjoy gardening and playing the piano.

I qualified from Bristol University, and having spent many years doing mixed animal practice, I decided that my interests lay in small animal medicine and surgery.

I work part-time to facilitate family life with two children, two dogs and two guinea pigs!

I started working at Connaught in 1990 and attended Rodbaston College where I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 1997. My main interest lies in emergency and critical care cases as I gained a certificate in this area in 2014.

I own a border terrier and a lurcher, who I love walking and spending time with. My other hobbies include riding my motorbike as well as watching motorbikes and Formula 1.

I have worked at Connaught since September 2010, with a short period in another practice in 2013/14. I previously worked in another Veterinary Practice for nearly 3 years. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in Summer 2012. I have special interests in Veterinary Anaesthesia, laboratory diagnostics and in-patient care.

I qualified from Rodbaston College in 2010 after doing my training at Connaught House. After a short spell at another practice in 2014 I returned to Connaught and have been here ever since! My main interests lie in surgery and theatre work.

I have an interest in horses and motorbikes.. I like my horsepower! I have two dogs, a Patterdale named Archie and a Jack Russell called Dot, and a pony called Dolly.

I joined Connaught House in 1983 and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1987 after training at Rodbaston College. I work at both the main Wolverhampton Hospital and the Codsall branch surgery.

I have an Italian Spinone called Wesley, and I am an avid support of Newcastle United FC!

I joined Connaught Vets in 1980 – I am the longest serving member apart from Sue Taylor! – and attended Rodbaston college for my animal nursing training. I work at both the Wolverhampton Hospital and Codsall branch surgery.

I have a black and white cat called Travis.

I qualified in 2000 at Rodbaston College and came to work at the Kingswinford branch of Connaught in 2004. I have a keen interest in canine behaviour.

I share my home with my two cats, Tyrion and Harry, an African Grey Parrot called Roo and my lovely English Pointer Kobi. My interests are dog showing and working Kobi (so generally spending lots of time in muddy fields) and yoga.

I qualified from Rodbaston College in 1990 and have been working at Connaught since 1987, now found at the Kingswinford Branch after moving here in 2002.

My interests include walking, gardening, DIY and wildlife. I have three cats at home Alice (also affectionately known as Pancake), Roly and Phoebe.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2002 whilst working at a Veterinary surgery in Birmingham. I started working at Connaught in April 2010.

I have two lovely cats and I’m proud Mum of two boys, spending most of my free time running around after them and socialising with friends and family.

I have worked for Connaught Vets since 2005 and qualified in 2010, now based at the Kingswinford branch full time. I enjoy dealing with all of Kingwinford’s insurance forms!

My pets include two black Labradors called Radley and Denzil, who are just gorgeous. I am also Mummy to my little boy Eliott.

I started work at Connaught House as a 2nd year student in 2013. After a short break, and qualifying in Winter 2014, I re-joined the team in 2015.

Outside of work I am kept busy by my horses, cats and dogs and use my time horse riding and spending time in the countryside with my friends.

I began working at Connaught House in 1998, starting on reception and then migrating to the offices upstairs to focus on the Equine Department. I now spend my days tracking down the equine vets and keeping them focussed on the job in hand – even I cannot stop them from going AWOL at times (!) – as well as dealing with the administration the equine department brings with it.

In my spare time I breed and show Maine Coons, and I am often seen walking into the practice with one of my beloved cats in tow (Oddbod especially loves coming for day trips to work). I own 20 cats and one very picked on dog, a retriever called Harry.

I joined Connaught in September 2017 and work as a part time receptionist at the Wolverhampton hospital. I enjoy seeing the variety of animals that come to the practice and chatting with the clients.

I have three dogs, one cat and a horse and have owned horses my whole life. I also work at the Wolverhampton Racecourse and at Kingswood Equestrian Centre doing the entries for the British Show Jumping competitions. The rest of my time I am tired and resting!!

I have worked at Connaught Vets in Wolverhampton since March 2016, starting on reception and then progressing to a dual role in reception/marketing last year. I love coming to work, and think we have a fantastic team here that are always very enthusiastic!

Outside of work I have two ‘special’ horses that I adore, an ex-racer called Gullible Gordon and a hunter called Zag. I have a daughter who has a very saintly pony called Chelsea who have started coming on hacks with me, so I fear horses are no longer a child-free zone! I also have two dogs both of which love their home in the countryside, four cats (I had never owned cats before working at Connaught!) and some silky hens (one of which turned out to be a cockerel…!). I am a keen cyclist but only when the weather is exceptional, and love nothing more than a walk which ends up in a pub!

I have worked in the Veterinary Profession for over 15 years at both Wolverhampton and Kingswinford, but you can now find me at the Kingswinford branch permanently.

I own two horses and a dog. My family and I lived overseas in Singapore and Malaysia for many years where I assisted with the Riding for the Disabled Association.

I have just started at the Wolverhampton Hospital as full-time receptionist, having previously been a customer for over 25 years.

I currently have one very spoilt ginger cat, but in the past have been around all sorts of animals ranging from horses to snakes! In my spare time I enjoy walking with my partner, listening to live music and being around horses where possible!

I have worked at Connaught for 7 years, starting as a cleaner at Kingswinford and then progressing to join the reception team. The best thing about my job is the opportunity to meet so many different people and animals. Dogs are my fav, and I love to talk to them as well as their owners. Sadly, I lost my dog Billy last July so this helps me greatly.

Three words my colleagues have used to describe me are pro-active, conscientious and helpful.
In my spare time I love to go camping and visit the seaside when I can!

I previously worked at Thomas Cook Travel for a number of years, but after deciding I needed a change I joined the Connaught Team over 11 years ago. You can find me at the Kingswinford branch.

My hobbies are Pilates, cycling and horse riding and have my own horse, Rosie. I am a volunteer at the Blue Cross rehoming centre in Bromsgrove where I help with fundraising, assisting in the vet clinic, walking dogs, playing with cats, cleaning kennels, doing laundry (in fact, anything that needs doing!!).

I have worked at Connaught since 2013, my first two years at the Wolverhampton Hospital and then I have since been based at the Kingswinford surgery as an Animal Nursing Assistant. My favourite duties include geriatric clinics and all the one to one work and support we offer our clients.

I have two cats both of whom arrived at the practices as strays, and who I love to spoil. In my spare time I love to go camping, walking, gardening and seeing live music. I’ve been lucky enough to travel, work and live abroad in South East Asia, Central America, Australia and parts of Europe and the Middle East. Animals and travelling are the two great loves of my life!

I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians and have been employed at Connaught House since 2007.

My pets include Jez the large ginger cat, Megan the West Highland White Terrrier dog who gets into lots of trouble, and Mr Darcey the horse who is quite a new addition to the family.

I joined Connaught in October 2009 working as part of the accounts team and am a full member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.

I love my bible, my family and my friends.

I enjoy watching Columbo and could sit and watch him on TV all day long if time allowed. I love to travel but equally also enjoy visiting National Trust gardens and have subsequently developed ‘green fingers’ of my own, following in the footsteps of my Dad who grows the best veggies ever!!

I have worked at Connaught since 1997 starting as a receptionish and then moving into the Insurance Administrator position. I have 2 cats and 1 budgie. I enjoy socialising and spending time with friends.

I joined Connaught in March 2015 to start my vet nurse training having previously worked for 4 years at two other practices where I gained my ANA qualification alongside a variety of animal related courses. I enjoy anaesthesia, laboratory, ECC and have a keen interest in feline nursing.

At home I have five cats who rule the roost and one hen-pecked but loveable dog called Frank.

I joined Connaught on 23rd March 2015. I am a second year student veterinary nurse so have a wide range of roles within the practice, but laboratory and scrubbing in to surgery are my favourites.

My interests are spending time with my family, Raymond my cat (of course) and going out and socialising with friends. I love to draw and sing whenever I get the chance.
