Beechwood Veterinary Centre Cycle to Paris - 20th May 2008

2 vets and 2 nurses from Beechwood Veterinary Centre in Woodley successfully completed their challenge to cycle from Woodley to Paris this May. Vets Helen Shreeve and Samara Cohen as well as nurses Marie Higgins and Hollie Ridges set off on Wednesday 30th April and arrived at the Eiffel Tower in Paris by lunchtime on Sunday 4th May. They were ably supported along the way by fellow vet Marcus Evans and Hollie's father, Peter Ridges. The event was in aid of the Worldwide Veterinary Service, a charity aiming to alleviate suffering and improve animal welfare worldwide. The group set a fundraising target of £3000 and even held a dog show to help raise funds for the event. They are hugely grateful to all of their clients and the local community who responded so empatically to the challenge, allowing the fundraising target to be easily exceeded.

Website Re-launched - 23rd April 2008

We are proud to announce the launch of our new website. We recognised that our old site was looking a little tired and out of date so we set about fixing that problem, and today this is the result. Streamlined and loading faster, the new site template should speed up the website. We've made it easier to navigate and lots more is planned for the future, so watch this space!
