I wanted to set up my own practice but I wasn’t sure if it was possible or where to begin. I contacted Brian as I knew he had set up (and worked in) at least 5 of his own start-up practices. In short, not only did Brian tell me I could do it, he said that he would back me as a business partner. We acquired the funding, the premises and launched King Street Vets in Twickenham in May 2022. The most useful aspect of working with Brian is that he has been there, seen it and probably done it too! It is priceless having a veterinary surgeon, owner-operator at the end of the phone when I need to sense-check how to handle a case, a client or a colleague! And he buys me a bottle of champagne every time I break another £10,000 barrier. 😊
