Meet Our Team

George grew up in Tarporley before moving to Exeter for university, graduating in 2013. Having spent seven years in London working in various business consulting roles, he moved to Tattenhall with his wife Sophie in September 2020 to escape the city and get back home.

As an observer of the veterinary profession from the outside, he has seen the rise of the corporate veterinary groups and the impact they have on their staff. Over the dinner table a week after their wedding, the plan was hatched to open an independent practice run by people in the community, for people in the community. His aim is to help develop a first-class service to those in the local area, delivered by a team that lives in and cares about Tattenhall.

Being married to a vet means only one thing – a house full of animals! Having moved back from London with only a cat, one pet quickly became three after Sophie rescued an injured terrier from a previous practice and then found it impossible to resist a labrador from a litter of pups in Milton Green.

George is sports mad, being able to watch any sport going on in front of him, although rugby is his real passion. Whilst no longer playing, he is just as happy at a big international game as he is on the sidelines watching the 2nd XV at Chester RUFC.

Elysia graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2022 with an Honours degree in Veterinary Medicine, receiving the prestigious McCall Prize as the most distinguished graduate across the five-year BVMS programme.

Since graduating, Elysia has worked in both first-opinion practices and busy 24-hour small animal hospitals across Cheshire and Manchester. Elysia is currently studying for a Master’s degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour at the University of Edinburgh with the goal of becoming a Veterinary Behaviourist.

Elysia’s passion for animal behaviour was inspired by her own German Shepherd, whose behavioural challenges gave her first-hand insight into the impact these issues can have on both pets and their owners. This experience sparked her ambition to help other families facing similar challenges. She is passionate about providing compassionate, individualised care and particularly enjoys building long-term relationships with clients and their pets at Tattenhall Veterinary Practice.

Outside of work, Elysia enjoys travelling, cycling, and discovering new places to eat. She also shares her home with her black cat, Bobbiccino, whose wonderfully unconventional taste in food keeps life entertaining.

Laura joined Tattenhall Veterinary Practice in May 2025. Starting in the veterinary industry as an auxiliary nurse in a mixed practice a decade ago, she qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2021. Since qualifying, she has gone on to become a dedicated clinical coach, proudly helping student nurses grow in confidence and skill, who are now fully qualified themselves.

Laura is another one of our feline advocates, but can’t resist a snuggle with a happy, waggy dog! You’ll tend to find Laura in the consult room, where she loves chatting with owners and meeting the local pets of Tattenhall. She’s especially passionate about creating genuine, long-lasting bonds with clients – offering not only excellent care for their pets, but a familiar, friendly face they can trust.

When she’s not in work, she shares her home with her fiancé Andy, and their brood of 4 cats: Ed the rescue tabby, Simba the naughty ginger (who you’ll always hear about his latest tricks), Luna the loveable tortie, and Percy who’s the real baby of the family. Laura loves spending time with her family, exploring the local National Trust sites. She equally loves burrowing away in her garden, planting her latest purchases from the garden centre.

Katherine joined the TVP team in 2025, bringing with her over six years’ experience in the veterinary industry. She is a dedicated member of the client care team with a strong passion for animal wellbeing. Katherine also studied Equine Science at Reaseheath and holds a Gold Award with the British Veterinary Receptionist Association, reflecting her commitment to high standards of care within the veterinary industry.

Katherine was raised in the beautiful countryside in Hertfordshire surrounded by animals and relocated to Cheshire in 2006. Outside of work, she enjoys staying active outdoors and is an animal lover. At home, she is a proud mum to her 17-year-old son, Sebastian, and pet mum to Louis her labrador, and three cats.

Diane has worked front of house in the veterinary industry for 13 years and has always loved animals, particularly horses. Her career has taken her down a few different paths, from working at a riding school to being a pharmacy assistant, but eventually placing her in the veterinary world. At Tattenhall Vets, Diane particularly enjoys building relationships with both clients and their pets, getting to know them and helping them feel welcome and supported.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Martin, and two grown-up daughters, Milli and Leah. Diane has three rescue pets: two cats, Squishy and Ellie, and Winnie, her very cheeky three-legged terrier! Martin and Diane love heading off on adventures in their campervan with Winnie whenever they can.

Animals have always been a big part of Diane’s life, and she feels very lucky to have found a career where she can combine that passion with supporting Tattenhall Vets’ clients and their much-loved pets.
