Healthy expansion for veterinary group

A FAMILY-run Yorkshire headquartered veterinary group is investing £300,000 in a state-of-the-art new clinic that will create 15 new jobs in the North West.

White Cross Vets, which has a practice in Guiseley and Roundhay, already operates 14 practices across the country.

The new practice in the Upton Rocks area of Widnes will be run by vets Archie Cummings and Louise Farrington and veterinary nurses Chloe Isherwood and Helen Murray.

Tim Harrison, managing director, says: “The opening of our 15th practice is a significant milestone for our business and we have plans to open another later this year in Wolverhampton.

“We have achieved 20% year on year growth for four consecutive years, doubling in size during that period, and we are delighted to be opening two more practices this year in line with our business plan.”
