Matthew Dunne
As the Founder of Local Vets, my mission is to support independent vets to achieve their aspirations. Independent vets have so much which makes them special, and it’s my job to develop the strategies and tools which help your independent practice to succeed. You might have heard that I’m not a vet – and it’s true! In fact, I’m a solicitor. I bring a fresh perspective to veterinary practice and am not afraid to challenge the status quo. I love speaking to independent vets looking to showcase what makes them great – so to find out more simply Chat to Matt!
Bethan Cosgrove, BVSc MRCVS
Based in the town known as ‘The Gateway to the Dales’ in North Yorkshire, I’m the face of Local Vets in the North of England. I’m a first opinion, small animal vet still working within a clinical role at an independent vet practice. My extensive experience in large animal, mixed, locum, ECC and small animal positions gives me an understanding of the structure and needs of a variety of practices. I am passionate about the veterinary profession and my wish is to maintain the family feel of independent vets and their valued place in the community. I will strive to help you and your practice succeed with effective marketing tools and strategies.
Jenny Guyat, BVetMed MRCVS
I’m a Veterinary Business Coach for Local Vets and help you to develop the veterinary business you’ve always wanted! By working in partnership with you to understand what you want from your practice, I can help you deliver it. I’m a former general practice and ECC vet, personal growth coach, mentor, entrepreneur and BSAVA Regional speaker as well as a certified HBDI psychometric profiling practitioner. I specialise in guiding veterinary business owners towards greater personal and professional success and look forward to working with you and your practice.
Nick Burrage
I’m the Digital and Creative Lead for Local Vets and design innovative marketing campaigns to help your practice grow. I’ve worked on marketing campaigns for some of the world’s largest brands at Saatchi & Saatchi and now use that expertise to support your practice. Gone are the days when marketing your veterinary practice was deemed unbefitting of a professional partnership. Today a modern veterinary business needs modern marketing techniques to help it stand out in a crowded and competitive market. And that’s exactly what Local Vets will deliver for your practice.
Lisa Singleton
I’m the Design Lead for Local Vets and create the beautiful artwork that is used in the marketing you see on this website and much more. I have over 20 years’ experience in graphic design and publishing and love helping businesses stand out from the crowd! Where so many veterinary businesses look the same to potential clients, I can help yours say something different with a unique brand identity and bespoke marketing material. I love building relationships with the fantastic veterinary practices working with Local Vets and can’t wait to bring the vision for your practice to life through great design, creativity and enthusiasm.
Alec Joynes
I’m the Online Marketing Lead for Local Vets. I help practices with every aspect of their online presence.
