In a bonus episode, Ian visits FIVP member Dalehead Veterinary Group Ltd at the grand opening of its new branch in Skipton – as the group marks its one hundredth anniversary.
Ian catches up with practice director Peter O’Hagan, who discusses the independent, client-first ethos that has driven Dalehead Veterinary Group for a century. We hear how the CMA investigation has impacted his practice, the preparations behind the scenes for the Skipton branch, and what motivated him to take this momentous step.
Speaking to colleagues from across the practice, it is clear that his enthusiasm is universal throughout the team. Veterinary nurse Joe, SQP Harriet and farm director Ian each share their vision for Dalehead Veterinary Group’s exciting new chapter.
Plus, we meet special guest Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, as he cuts the ribbon for the Skipton branch. Eddie discusses his remarkable career as a national ‘have-a-go hero’ and shares his support for independent practices like Dalehead.
