FEATURED COMPANY:
VETERINARY SERVICES
INCREASING BASE OF
PROGRESSIVE AND MOTIVATED CLIENTS
It’s fair to say that South East England isn’t the garden of Eden when it comes to livestock farming. The weather, the rapidly reducing amount of land available for agriculture and increasing population density all create a challenging environment. The provision of farm services has not always been as plentiful as in other rural areas either. From agricultural merchants and machinery dealers to relief labour and veterinary services, it has always felt a bit less well served, according to the group behind new arrivals Green Counties vets. Just over four years ago, they decided to introduce some healthy competition into the commercial
livestock veterinary sector in the South East. Initially working with a small group of dairy farmers around Edenbridge and Sevenoaks, Green Counties has established a solid reputation for quality service and approachable vets serving dairy, beef and sheep farmers in Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Since Oli Maxwell moved from a well-established job in Derbyshire to work in what was an unknown area of the country to him, Green Counties has gone from strength to strength. The practice now has three vets working with an increasing base of progressive and motivated clients. Alongside his 14 years’ experience, Green
Counties Clinical Director Oli is a Royal College Recognised Specialist. This enables him to bring a huge range of added value to any enterprise. Colleague Ed Hayes is an Advanced Practitioner particularly focused on bovine reproduction with extensive experience in block calving systems. The practice has recently welcomed Charlie Hockings to complement the team as it grows. As well as a total of 37 years’ experience, the three vets provide a comprehensive and farmer focused service. Services include adding value to fertility visits, bull and heifer fertility, lameness reduction and management, and calf health. >>
