THE team at a Cheshire veterinary group are celebrating after being nominated for a prestigious award.

Every practice which is part of the Willows Veterinary Group, headquartered at Gadbrook Park, has been nominated for Practice of the Year at the Petplan Veterinary Awards 2021 – regarded as the Oscars of the veterinary profession.

The nominations were made by pet owners who nominated the practices for exceptional levels of care, outstanding expertise and for going above and beyond the call of duty.

Willows practices include Willows Veterinary Hospital and Abbeycroft Veterinary Surgery in Northwich, Winsford Veterinary Surgery, Middlewich Veterinary Surgery, Holly House Veterinary Surgery in Knutsford and Broom Cottage Veterinary Surgery in Wilmslow.

“It is fantastic that our practices have received these nominations,” said Bruce Waddell, clinical director of the Willows Veterinary Group.

“I am immensely proud of the work our practice teams do to provide outstanding care for our patients and an excellent experience for clients.

"They will be delighted that the clients have made these nominations, especially after such a challenging year.”

This year, more than 13,000 nominations have been received across five categories in the Petplan Awards.
