Independent vet group Harrison Family Vets is to start work on two new practices it hopes to open in northern England early next year.
The group is investing £700,000 and is hoping to create 12 new jobs with the latest additions to its growing portfolio.
A former pub in Mosborough High Street eight miles from central Sheffield, and a new unit in Tyldesley, Wigan are being transformed into its latest practices.
Harrison Family Vets launched in 2021 and has five practices at Woodley, Reading; Kingswinford, West Midlands; Didsbury, south Manchester; Stockton-on-Tees; and Armthorpe, Doncaster.
It has just achieved practice level Fear Free accreditation – the first outside North America – and plans to roll out innovations from existing sites, including bespoke waiting area pods, at the Wigan and Sheffield clinics.
Kristie Faulkner, operations director from Harrison Family Vets, said: “We’re very excited to start work on our two latest practices and we’re already receiving applications from potential team members.
“The whole ethos at Harrison Family Vets is about fostering a culture within our team that sets us apart and differentiates our practice from all others.”
