David Maclellan
Managing Director
I have a real passion for the Veterinary industry, which propelled me into launching Vet Seekers Ltd back in 2016. I have over 13 years in the veterinary recruitment sector, thus giving me a vast insight and understanding of the market, along with the various roles and tasks related to the profession.
Outside of work, I am a bit of a foody. I enjoy cooking and eating dishes from various countries and of course spending time with family an friends and the miniature Schnauzers Tash and Mazy!

Lucy Maclellan
Director
My love for animals came from living abroad in Spain for five years when I managed a cat shelter in Denia called Aldea Felina. As most of you know Spain and many other countries including the UK suffer with many large stray cats and dogs and many are neglected, dumped when they get to be of an adult age and left to fend for themselves.
After working for a veterinary recruitment agency, I am very fortunate to be part of Vet Seekers where I can offer a specialist bespoke service to both vets and nurses alike. I feel fortunate to work alongside these professionals and assist them with finding their next step in their veterinary careers.

Jacob Stott
Senior Consultant
From my experience within the hospitality and payroll sectors I have developed a good understanding of people and how to build strong working relationships. I believe in being open, honest and positive in everything I do and pride myself on being meticulous with my day to day work.
I come from a family who has always had pets and feel there is nothing better than coming home from work to a heart-warming meow or a woof. When I am not at work I am usually doing something which involves football! I also love to travel to new places, exploring cultures and trying the local food.
I am very excited for this new opportunity to work at Vet Seekers and look forward to supporting you in any way possible.

James
Consultant
Coming from a pet mad family background, I understand the importance of ensuring the very best veterinary professionals are in place, to ensure the health and wellbeing of beloved pets, should they require attention.
I have experience in recruitment and bring a whole host of skills to the Vet Seekers team. Outside of work, I am never too far away from a football pitch, either playing myself or following my team up and down the country. Aside from sport, I am always found in a restaurant trying new cuisine or simply out with friends. -
Alison Hickman
Marketing
I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and very proud of it. Although I currently work very part-time in practice I do regularly volunteer at my local clinic to keep my hand in and skills current. I also locum for them when they need it. The rest of my working time is spent as a PA in my family business and writing my RVN Blog for Vet Seekers.
I am a Pet Auntie to my friends and neighbours dogs and cats. Pet sit? Yes please! Dog walk? Happy to help! I'm stoked to be asked
When I can retire I'll adopt two rescue mutts. That's definitely my future furry goal.

Ciara Pells
Recruitment consultant
After having experience in recruitment down in London, I immediately loved it and wanted to find a sector that I was passionate about. I have two dogs Murphy (the mischievous Hungarian Vizsla) and Bridie (the attention lover Terrier), it makes me proud that I can help contribute towards the wellbeing of them and any other pets should they need it. In my spare time I do singing gigs around the local bars and pubs and spend time with my friends and family.

Tash and Maisy
The Brains
Hi we're Tasha and Maisy, two Miniature Schnauzers aged 9 and 6. As you can see... we're adorable together! We also go by the names off Two Poos Tash and Crazy Maisy, because... well... it's who we are

Olivia Burley
Office administrator
After finishing my degree in English literature and creative writing, I began volunteering at my local library in a role that focused on administrative duties and interacting with the general public. I loved the connection of these two areas and the ability I had to elevate someone's mood by helping them with their inquiries.
Outside of my volunteer role, I wanted to find a job that would allow me to harness my creative writing skills. This role at Vet Seekers not only allows me to put my admin skills to good use but also engages my creativity when writing interesting job descriptions and informing you of exciting opportunities.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing and taking walks in the countryside. An animal lover at heart, I grew up with lots of cats and currently have one named Thor.
