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 Hal, 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. 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 spend the majority of my time at the Wolverhampton hospital where I enjoy the complete variety of routine and more complex small animal work and enjoy all aspects of my role with both medical and surgical cases. I also work at the Codsall branch in the evenings where I thoroughly enjoy building relationships with clients and their pets and assisting them through the highs and lows of life’s journey.

Knowledge and professional development is an important part of everyone’s careers at Connaught House Veterinary Group and I am currently working towards my PgC in feline practice.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time as a family with my husband and daughter. We have a busy household with border collies and small breed dogs who enjoy competitive agility as well as being owned by a number of cats who enjoy the lazier life!

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 1997 and joined the Connaught team in 1998.

I am mostly based at our Kingswinford Surgery and have enjoyed the challenges of building up the surgery to where it now lies at the heart of our friendly local community.

We see a varied day to day small animal caseload and I have a particular interest in ophthalmology cases and feline medicine – having 5 cats of my own definitely helps with this! I also enjoy using veterinary acupuncture alongside more conventional treatments to offer a wider range of options to our clients and their pets.

When I’m not at work I love to attend live music concerts (preferably from the front row!) and I also have a passion for Ceroc (modern jive) dancing.
