“With thousands of toothbrushes and dental remedies collected over generations in our companies, we regularly find products on the market which have been discarded in the human field, and relaunched in the pet field. Often with similar results in the new market. It’s a great help to know the story of some many of the products tried in the market.”

“Also, it is important to mention that Petosan is a small and network based company, meaning that we use our network extensively and work with a number of different industry experts with high expertise in a particular field. Our primary concern is not necessarily becoming a large company, but rather employ people that can help us stay unique and competent. In addition to this, our philosophy is to outsource as much as we can of traditional services. “For those of our staff who are dog parents, brushing their dogs’ teeth is mandatory. We live our brand and do frequently discuss challenges in the daily routine, our experiences and everybody is heard. All staff know the basics of our developments and focus is placed both on behaviour, and on tools and remedies available on the market. Trying out competing products and how they perform is an important part of understanding the market and the challenges that we try all try and overcome. In addition, we are humble to other people’s efforts and ideas. This is because seeing it all in perspective, is important in order to improve.

JHP Recruitment is a specialist veterinary recruitment company supplying locum and permanent candidates to veterinary clinics. We caught up with Director Justin Powlesland to learn more about the firm and the vital work it undertakes.
in 2018 by giving away over 180 tickets to CPD events such as the BVNA Congress, BSAVA Congress, Vet Festival, as well as for webinars such as the ones we are creating with the ‘Webinar Vet’. We believe that by helping our locums with this, it improves their knowledge and hopefully will help them to develop their skills to make them even better than they already are.” These webinars are testimony to the exceptional knowledge and expertise that Justin and his team have in the veterinary recruitment space. Justin is happy to share this knowledge with us and explore how his firm is helping to support both clients and candidates alike and ensure that their needs are met in this ever evolving market.
“With the high demand for vets and vet nurses in the UK, we are finding that more and more people are coming to the UK for work and we are very keen to help these candidates to obtain ‘registered status’ on the RCVS register (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons). We have already assisted many people to come across to the UK and have helped them to pass their OSCE exams. We feel that our knowledge and help with this, sets us apart from some of our rival companies.”
Drawing on the vast experience of its professional and knowledgeable staff, JHP Recruitment offers specialist recruitment support for clinics and hospitals all across the UK. The firm also has clients in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and India. The firm can supply all levels of candidates from Clinical Directors, Veterinary Surgeons, Veterinary Nurses, Nursing Assistants and Receptionists. Justin explores the secrets behind the firm’s success and how it has become a renowned name in veterinary recruitment.
In his concluding comments, Justin provides us with a fascinating insight into JHP Recruitment’s expansion plans, and how it will be working to build upon its current success whilst at the same time remain dedicated to
“Here at JHP Recruitment, we feel that our reputation is key to our success and ensure that we are listening to our clients and candidate’s needs. To ensure that we continue to offer a cutting edge service, we constantly strive keep up-to-date on any changes to the veterinary industry as well as any changes to legislation within recruitment. “Thanks to our vast industry experience, as Director I have recently been asked to write and record a webinar on behalf of the ‘British Veterinary Nursing Association’ (BVNA) in 2017 which was received so well by its members that I was then asked to be a guest lecturer at the BVNA Congress 2017 and has been asked to return in 2018.”

The success of Justin’s webinars in 2017 led to a further invitation for Justin and his team to create even more webinars on a selection of topics. He highlights how important these will be both for his firm and candidates in the veterinary industry.

“Owing to the success of our webinars JHP Recruitment have been asked to write and present 4 webinars in 2018 for ‘The Webinar Vet’ and these have been on a range of subjects such as ‘Life as a Locum’ to ‘Mental Health & Well-being’. These have been great for us as they have showcased us as company and helps vets and vet nurses with their CPD (continuous professional development). “As locum’s in the UK need to fund their own CPD, we have assisted Vets and Vet Nurses

offering clients the exceptional level of service and support that they have come to rely upon.
“Looking ahead, we are moving into a new, larger office later this year, which is double the size of our current office and have recently advertising for two new Consultants to join the team. We have had many applications for the roles and are currently in the process of setting up interviews. We are very lucky that we are well known and have had consultants recommended to us from friends and colleagues too. It is our belief that our consultants must be passionate about what we do and the industry that we work in as we do encourage them to go and visit our clients and spend time in veterinary hospitals. As part of our drive for expansion, we have recently engaged with new clients that require veterinary professionals for non-clinical roles and we do plan on expanding this side of the business over the next 12 months or so. We are also looking to add 2-5 more consultants within the ‘clinical team’ to try and cement our place as one of the UK’s best ‘Veterinary Recruitment Agencies’. “Longer term, over the next year we plan on expanding our client base from overseas and hope to attend the ‘New York Vet Show’ in November 2018 as we would like to start working the United States. These exciting developments offer us many great opportunities to flourish and we look forward to taking advantage of these over the coming months.”

Aurora Pets - where function, design and style collide Our mission is to find the world’s highest quality products for pets that are fashionably elegant and seamlessly blend in with your own style. We realise the importance of buying products made with un-compromised high-quality materials that are timeless and stylish. Experience Aurora Pets and see the latest collections of luxury dog accessories and designer apparel from the best international designers. The designer dog shop for stylish dog apparel and luxury dog accessories was founded by husband and wife team Ashton and Jonathan Rose, originally inspired by their French bulldog dog Yianni. From a puppy Yianni has always been full of love, confidence and keen to explore: it’s quite amazing the closeness you share and the special bond you build with them. The amount of love, happiness, and laughter a dog being in your life can bring is not something you can convey until you experience it. It’s something we are sure every pet owner can relate too. When we first started to shop around for Yianni trying to find quality, practical products, we realised it wasn’t as easy as it seemed - That is where the idea of Aurora Pets was born.
Our passion is our dogs and getting to work with them is the dream job for us. However, our jobs are so amazing due to our wonderful customers and brands. We get so excited when we know a new collection or product is on its way to us. We are very specific in the products we include in our range - they have to be functional and made with uncompromised quality and materials. Some of our brands include; the classically stylish Cloud7 who are design experts in dog collars, dog leads, carriers and a range of other luxury dog products; Max-Bone dog apparel with brand ambassadors such as Kylie Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, and Selma Blair as well as Bondi Wash, which is a plant-based luxury dog grooming range designed to care and protect for your dog’s skin and coat. All of our brands pride themselves on quality fabrics, high craftsmanship, and sustainable, ethical manufacturing. Towards this goal, many of our suppliers and ourselves are involved with dog charities such as Modern Beast, giving 100% of their profit to dog rescue centres, Beautiful Joe’s providing the same quantity of products that we buy to dog shelters. Ultimately, being involved with our partner charities to help raise awareness is extremely important to us. We at Aurora Pets also realise that the goal for change is not just on land with charities but at sea too. This is why we made the pledge to be plastic free in our packaging and hope to be completely plastic free in all products by the end of 2019. We believe we can help towards the environment by both cutting out the use of plastic in our packaging and also finding eco-friendly materials that do not harm the planet.
Aurora Pets was created to bring the best brands in the world to the UK for discerning dog owners. Quality and function are of the utmost importance to us, whilst also realising that dog accessories can fit in with our own style both while we are in and out of our homes. The sentiment “you get what you pay for” is definitely true when it comes to our brands as the design, quality and attention to detail is second to none. As members of our family, we want to make sure they have the best of everything - be comfortable and cosy at home, be warm on colder days when we are out exploring, play with the most fun toys around, and be groomed with natural products that are kind and caring to their skin.
Another major part of what we do at Aurora Pets is to provide as much valuable information for our customers as possible. We regularly release blogs on feeding guides, style tips, and our ‘out and about’ series. The feeding guidelines currently cover our journey of raw feeding as we made the switch following skin irritations that Yianni was experiencing. In our Style Tips, we have interviews with the brands we stock at Aurora Pets so that our customers and readers can get to know them and their inspiration, and our Out and About series currently covers interesting places to walk with your dog and places to stay.
As Aurora Pets has grown, so has the family with a new four-legged member French Bulldog Yoko. As a part of the Aurora Pets team, we like to let them test all the potential products we retail for quality, durability and the all-important taste tests – which, I’m sure, is their favourite part of their job.
