A new veterinary practice has opened its
doors in Fife after securing a loan from Royal Bank of Scotland.
Owned by husband-and-wife duo, Hannah (29)
and Bruce McKerrow (31), 3 Bridges Vets provides services and treatments for a
wide range of pets and farm animals, from hamsters to horses.
Hannah and Bruce decided to start the
practice after building up their experience working in a range of different
veterinary and farming roles. The couple have combined their clinical
experience and family history of working in sheep farming to launch the new
Dunfermline-based business.
The funding from Royal Bank of Scotland has
been used to facilitate necessary building works, including internal fit-out
electrical and joinery work.
The Fordell Firs vets boasts a spacious
reception area - complete with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs - along
with a customer built large animal facility and on-site laboratory.
The practice currently employs 5 members of
staff, including skilled veterinary surgeons who provide round the clock care
as part of its out of hours service.
Hannah
McKerrow, Founder
of 3 Bridges Vet said: “We
started this venture with the goal of creating a local independent practice
that can offer tailored care and a personal touch. I’m incredibly grateful for
Royal Bank’s support in making this all possible”.
“Since
opening, our business has grown from strength to strength, and we are really
looking forward to building up our client base this year by continuing to
support the local community in Fife”.
Steven
Hunter, Regional Relationship Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland, said: “Hannah
and Bruce have a wealth of combined knowledge and experience across both the
veterinary sector and farming industry. This expertise gives them the unique
advantage of understanding the needs and wants of their customers and will help
them continue to provide a high-quality service to the local community”.
