Cruft's 2023

The Animal People Recruitment Company just exhibited at Cruft's for the very first and it was incredible!


The snow sent us a challenge but nothing was going to stop us from attending the biggest dog show in the world!


Thank you to everyone who came and visited us on our stand in hall 2. We loved seeing each and every one of you. We hope you liked your goody bags! 😉


Whilst at Cruft's we met up with so many of our friends in the industry and met so many new amazing people and their dog's too! 🐶


We heard countless stories from people who we have helped over the past two years and it was so lovely and at times quite overwhelming; but in a good way of course!


It's just so fantastic to know the positive impact that we are having on people's lives in a an industry that we care so deeply about!


2023 is shaping up to be an incredible year for us and we could not be happier to be part of the pet and animal health industry.


I was absolutely chuffed to see that Orca the 4 year old Lagotto Romangnolo won best in show, were you? Who was your favourite?


Please keep an eye out for news on the other shows that we will be attending throughout 2023!

At the end of last year, I was incredibly honoured to be given the title of Ambassador for Birmingham Dogs Home . It’s a role I’m immensely proud of - not because of the title itself, but because of what it represents after almost a decade of consistent support, advocacy and genuine commitment to a charity that changes lives every single day. This felt like the natural next step in a journey that has been building for years. I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. Giving back to dogs who haven’t had the best start in life has always mattered to me, but over the last five years in particular, my role as Managing Director and Co-Founder of The Animal People Recruitment Company has given me a much bigger platform to make a difference.
