Caroline

After graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2017, I moved back home to the East Midlands and have worked in small animal practice in the East Midlands ever since. I moved to Croft in 2021, and have loved meeting your furry friends and helping them stay healthy. I enjoy surgery, and like to keep busy learning new skills to give the best care I can.
In my spare time, I love to take my Cocker Spaniel, Bertie, on long walks in the countryside.
Bob

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.
Georgia

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!
