Holly McCallum

Animal Care Assistant

Holly began working with us in November of 2023, and is incredibly excited to be learning all things veterinary medicine within such a wonderful and supportive team. You may recognise her from reception, being a regular supplier of treats and fuss!

With over a decade experience of customer service under her belt, she is passionate about building strong client relationships and delivering a personalised service – as she believes excellent customer service always starts with a human touch. Holly is also an avid horse lover, which drives her keen interest in equine care. With the aspiration of studying veterinary nursing in the near future, Holly is most excited for in-patient and theatre nursing, as well as running her own nurse clinics – as she does love a blether!

When she’s not at work, her favourite pastime is taking her two dogs, Otis and Wesley, for long walks exploring the countryside.
