Accounts Manager

I started working for Caerwys Veterinary Surgery in 2015 after returning home from travelling abroad with my husband for his work. In my previous life, I was a project manager for worldwide pharmaceutical clinical trial supplies. Here at Caerwys Vets, each day is completely different and you never know what the next phone call might bring. This makes the days incredibly interesting, sometimes challenging but always enjoyable! At home, I have two Cocker Spaniels, Hoshi and Sora, and we love to find new places to explore in the beautiful countryside. We also have a cat (imaginatively called Puss), which completes our family.
