About Us

Born in Bolsover, I returned to my hometown after qualifying as a veterinary surgeon and set up Croft Veterinary Centre in 1992.  We continue to serve Bolsover and the surrounding areas, dedicated to ensuring the health and wellbeing of your pets.

With the advancement in veterinary equipment, care and diagnostics we are moving to exciting new premises in Bolsover to continue providing you with the best service possible.

We remain, family owned and independent with an exceptional veterinary team, loving and caring for your pets as if they are our own.

 

We look forward to welcoming you.

Hello! My name is Bethany and I have just recently joined the Croft team in July. Getting to meet all of your fur babies is the absolute highlight of my job, and because I don’t currently have pets of my own, it means that I can steal more cuddles off yours instead!

Outside of work I am a massive MCU fanatic and adore musical theatre – most specifically Hamilton and Mean Girls.

I cannot wait to see what the future holds and I’m so excited to meet all of your beautiful fur babies!

I joined the Croft family in 2018 and I’m one of the receptionists I really enjoy interacting with our clients and fussing their fur babies I passed my sqp qualification and I’m owned by a very naughty black and white cat called Basil who I take for a walk everyday.

My name is Bob and I’m the Accounts & Data Analyst here at Croft
A True Yorkshireman, I live in Leeds, and I’ve been associated with Croft Veterinary Centre for the past 14 years. When the opportunity came in May 2022 to join them full-time there was no hesitation and being no stranger to Bolsover it made the decision easier.

I find the whole process of Veterinary care fascinating, and the level of professionalism that goes into the treatment and care of pets here at Croft is of upmost importance and I feel proud to be a part of the team
Outside of work and back up North, I live a typical family life, unfortunately I don’t have a Whippet but up until recently we had two house rabbits. I have a keen interest in sport, still playing some football, a bit of cycling and I’m a student in the Martial Art of Taekwondo.

Hello my name is Georgia,

I am an Animal Nursing Assistant at Croft Vets with hopes in the future of becoming a Veterinary Nurse. I am owned by my 4 boxer dogs, one cat and a one pony. In my spare time I love exploring the country side with my pony and taking him out jumping.

In practice I love a challenge, helping your companions on their hospitalization and recovery journey is one of my favorite things to do, as well as prepping and scrubbing in to help with surgeries.

I hope to see you and your pets very soon!

Hi my name is Emily, I joined the Croft team in October 2021 and I love seeing all of your fur babies. I also passed my SQP exams in December 2023.

At home I have a cocker spaniel Marty, two savannah cats Colin and Jim, and a Moggy called Barney.

In my spare time, I love a good walk in the countryside with Marty which usually ends in a very soggy spaniel after finding any puddle or pond, snuggling on the sofa with the cats and spending time with family
