She loves getting out with the dogs exploring the fells and is kept busy at home with her two young children.

Claire Joined the team in 2023 and loves meeting everyone's furry family members. Claire has an interest in senior pet healthcare. At home Claire has two rescue cats called Eric and Betty. Eric is getting older now so he doesn't race around as much as Betty, but he likes to keep a close eye on what she is up to - usually mischief! Outside of work, running is something Claire always finds time for, It helps her switch off. Any health benefits from this are cancelled out by Claires' love of ice cream. 

Laura Le Jeune joined the Reception team in 2024. Laura has a rescue cat called Tasha which she has just recently adopted. Laura enjoys art and has tried her hand at a few different mediums, e.g. painting, felting, crochet, sculpture, etc. Laura also enjoys horticulture, a passion that was furthered by her time spent working in a garden centre. Laura has a lot of house plants (too many to count) and enjoys spending time in the garden.  Laura feels most at home at the beach, no matter the weather. Rain, sunshine, or blowing a gale, it all has its charm.
