Meet The Team

After graduating from Liverpool Veterinary University in 1989, Neil joined our team in 1998. He enjoys all aspects of his work, but has a particular passion for surgery. He often cycles to work from outer Leeds, as he’s keen to keep fit and healthy!

Vicki graduated in 1990 and after working as owner and locum at various practices in the area, Vicki joined us as a permanent part time Vet in 2023. She has a particular interest in dermatology and keeps very active with rowing, cycling and running.

Katie qualified in 2018, and joined us the following year after gaining experience at another practice. She is a dedicated member of our nursing team and loves keeping busy! She can often be found doing nursing clinics at our Bingley branch, and has a cocker spaniel named Breia with bundles of energy.

Sophie qualified in 2019, and has since completed her emergency care certificate, which is a huge achievement! She joined us in 2020, and has since developed a keen interest in surgery and theatre. She also loves the great outdoors, and looks forward to walking her springer spaniel, Riley, after work.

Leanne has worked in the veterinary industry since 2006, and qualified as a nurse in 2011. She loves seeing patients and clients at our nurse clinics but is also heavily involved in the day to day running of the branch.  In her free time, Leanne enjoys snuggles with her cat!

An experienced hand, Hayley has been a valued member of our practice family since 2010. She spends most of her time at our Bingley branch and is our resident Mrs Hinch – if you stand still long enough, you’ll be cleaned too! When she’s not at work, she loves going on long walks with her border collie, Blue.

Sam joined us in 2021 and is a dedicated, upbeat and bubbly member of the team! He’s excellent at putting worried clients at ease, and encourages smiles all around. When he’s not working, he enjoys looking after his Romanian rescue dog and pug.

Martin has been with Avenue Vets since 2008, and is part of the fixtures and fittings! He works predominantly at our Bingley branch, and is an avid reader in his spare time.

Nicky joined us as a nursing assistant in 1993, and after several busy years in our nursing team she moved over to our reception team to focus on family life. She has a menagerie of pets at home, including cats, dogs and rabbits!
