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 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 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.

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 graduated from the Royal Veterinary College London in 2019 and joined Connaught House Vets straight away following my time here as a student! I have a keen interest in ultrasonography, particularly echocardiography.

I enjoy clay pigeon shooting in my spare time, previously having been part of the shooting team at university. I grew up surrounded by working gundogs and can’t wait to have my own labrador retriever!

I qualified from Royal Veterinary College London in 2019. I joined the team at Connaught right away after spending time here on placement. I am mainly Equine but you will find me at the Hospital in Wolverhampton seeing small animals weekly (when Jan allows!).

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 have three lurchers; Ariel, Brair and Blaze and a tortoise called Stormageddon! Outside of work I enjoy walking the dogs in the countryside or trips to the seaside.

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 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 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 love my bible, my family and my friends.

I started at Connaught Vets in April 2018, and am studying at Rodbaston College to become a qualified RVN. I love all aspects of my job, but especially endoscopy, ultrasounds and the one to one care with inpatients. Emergency cases can be an adrenaline rush and teach us how to deal with life threatening situations. I also enjoy the team I work with and feel all the different ages and levels of experience contribute to my educational journey.

I have a Rottie called Bruno, who is 8 years old, a Chichi x Jack Russel called Tricksie and the new addition of a two year old Yorkshire terrier called Lucky. I love gardening, walking the dogs and carboot sales as I feel I am hunting for little treasures!
