The London Vet Show 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!

Why Becoming an Ambassador for Birmingham Dogs Home Means Everything to Me

By Chris Whatling • February 2, 2026

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.
