	Vets

Gus and Sophie then opened Firgrove in Yateley in 2002, followed by Basingstoke Veterinary Centre in 2005. Gus graduated from Sydney University in 1994 and has been working in small animal practice ever since. He has a 3-legged cat Kitty, a Whippet named Piper and a selection of rescue horses and chickens.
	Susan Foch-Gatrell MRCVS Susan is a recent transplant from Northern California where she spent 6 years practicing in a small and exotic animal clinic. She has brought with her to Hartley Wintney her entire menagerie of 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 birds. In her spare time she enjoys hiking (rambling now!) with the dogs, SCUBA diving (without the dogs), travel (anywhere, anytime), and reading (mostly novels).
	Nathalie Fellows MRCVS Nathalie has been a qualified Vet since 1994. She studied in Liege (Belgium) and worked in Belgium and in France before coming to England. Nathalie joined this Practice in December 2007. She enjoys working with all four legged creatures and has a little weakness for large cats and Retrievers of any types. In her spare time she enjoys family life and cooking.
	Practice Manager
	Terry Gravett RVN MBVNA Since 1986 Terry has moved through the ranks from Kennel Hand to Qualified Nurse to Practice Manager but feels that in this Profession one has never seen everything. The fact that two days are never the same provides a level of interest second to none in the work place.

	Office Staff
	Sam Axton Sam qualified to AAT NVQ Level 4 in Accountancy. She works as a Part Time Book Keeper and PA to Gus. She has worked in various finance roles for the past 15 years. She has two children, a football mad son and a younger daughter who keeps her busy nearly all the time. She enjoys watching her son’s football team play on Sundays.
	Veterinary Nurses
	Debbie Bunn RVN Debbie qualified in January 2008 having taken up the profession of Veterinary Nurse after being a full time wife and mother until her children were old enough to look after themselves. She has been with the Practice since 2005 and has found the job as enjoyable and interesting as she thought it would be. In her spare time she still looks after her husband and children along with the two dogs, cat and goldfish.
	Michele Kemp RVN Michelle joined the Practice in September 2008, she has been a Qualified Nurse since 1991 and is still enjoying the variety and opportunity to learn that this job gives.
