The London Vet Show 2022

Chris Whatling • December 5, 2022

Katie and Chris at our first ever The London Vet Show!


The Animal People Recruitment Company exhibited at this years London Vet Show! We were absolutely blown away by the amount of candidates and clients that came to find us and say hello at our stand.


We have worked with so many different brands and candidates within animal related industries but the Veterinary Industry was where it all started for our MD & Founder Chris Whatling.


Chris said....


"As a small child I always dreamt of becoming a Veterinary Surgeon one day. I was always fascinated by the work that veterinary professionals do and I still am until this day! I remember watching countless Vet TV programme's as a child and being in awe at the work that these people did.


8 years ago I began recruiting into the veterinary industry by recruiting a wide selection of back office staff for Veterinary practices in the west midlands. To now have "The Animal People" driven by mine and the teams passion and admiration for these people plus being here at London Vet Show really is a dream come true for me."


The Animal People Recruitment Company will be exhibiting at various shows throughout 2023 so watch this space!
