Support team

Bridget joined Hunters Bar in May 2018 from a mixed practice in the Peak District. She has worked in veterinary practice for the last 25 years with long experience as practice manager and business manager. Bridget is loving the new challenges a city practice brings. In her spare time she enjoys cooking, reading and spending as much time as possible travelling to new destinations and learning about the world.

Jay has been a receptionist at Hunters Bar since 2015. She lives in her miniature zoo with her beautiful teacup Chihuahuas Tequila and Phoenix her Pomchi Skye, her budgie Kiwi and her two cats Pagan and Raven. She has had a love of all animals since being very young and wanted to be a cat when she grew up. Since that wasn’t possible she decided she would work with cats, dogs and all manner of animals instead.

Jess has been part of the team here at Hunters Bar since October 2014. She studied animal behaviour and welfare at Plymouth University for three years prior to joining. She loves her job as there is something new every day and she particularly enjoys handling insurance claims. She has a passion for animals, having three cats named Mitchell, Beau and Rupert and a Malamute cross called Toby. In her spare time Jess likes to explore new places with Toby and spend time with loved ones.

Lorna joined our reception team in 2018 and also handles the practice's health and safety, she shares her home with two cheeky gerbils and far too many houseplants.

Ellie has been a part of the practice since the start of 2020. She has previously worked at a boarding kennel and before that, she worked in a dog grooming salon as a pet stylist. Ellie has a huge passion for all animals but she especially enjoys farming as she helps out on a local dairy farm as well as taking part in lambing each year. In her spare time, Ellie enjoys spending time with her horse Joey, cat Mabel and three dogs Bailey, Reeva and Merlin who make her laugh every day.
