Veterinary group injects £5.5m into its treatment facilities
York-headquartered VetPartners has announced a £5.5m investment in its veterinary practices across the country for 2021.
Flagship veterinary hospitals in Northamptonshire and Surrey head the major projects being funded by the veterinary group, which has more than 420 sites across the UK, in the first six months of 2021.
Work is expected to start next month on a new hospital for Northlands Veterinary Hospital in Kettering, while work is already in progress on the new Farnham Veterinary Hospital in Surrey.
Vets in Runcorn, Cheshire, and Biddulph, Staffordshire, will also benefit from the funding, which will go towards refurbishment work.
While practices in Warwickshire and Sunderland will be expanded after outgrowing current premises.
VetPartners CEO, Jo Malone, said: “Continually investing in new equipment and facilities supports our practice teams to deliver an outstanding service for their clients and excellent care of their patients.
“Our ethos at VetPartners is that care needs to be centred around achieving the best possible outcomes for each client and patient because that will make us a success and investing in practices enables us to achieve that.
“We are also committed to creating great places to come and work, whether you’re a vet, veterinary nurse or receptionist, and that means enhancing practices and providing good facilities for colleagues to work and relax in, which is important to their wellbeing and ability to deliver the best service and care.”
The firm’s investment plans come after it announced earlier this year strong growth in Italy, and that it plans to continue its European growth with the aim of a wold renowned animal health services business.
