00:00So we're here at Nova Vets, brand new vets in Newport and we're with the bosses. So introduce

00:05yourselves ladies. I'm Anne Lee, I'm a veterinary nurse. I'm Kate, I'm one of the vets. And I'm Sam,

00:14one of the vets. So what's your history then? So this is a, I mean, this is a brand new place here

00:19on, is it Nye Park? How do you say it? Nye Park. Nye Park, yeah. Just over the road from Aldi,

00:26if people are wondering whereabouts in Newport. So a little bit about your history then ladies,

00:31what were you up to before this place? Well we've all worked in practice, that's how we

00:36made each other. And we all felt that the time was right to open a new practice for the people

00:46and the vets in Newport. Cool. And you're from around this way, all of you pretty much,

00:50Newport and on the outskirts? Yeah, I live in Newport, yeah, I have done since I left university.

00:55Yeah. Which is also in Newport. So I've lived here for a long time. Yeah, we all live locally.

01:02So does that mean when you go walking down the high street in Newport, you're recognising all

01:06that, you've got all these little dogs yapping going, no! I hope the dogs are pleased to see you.

01:13Well, most of the time. So ladies, what's special about Nova Vets then,

01:18then why should people come and get on board? We want to offer an independent veterinary care

01:24to the people of Newport. We want to make sure that there is a continuity of care,

01:30that people can come and see the same vet, unless someone's off on holiday, which they can't control.

01:35But yeah, try and see the same vet, really get to know the patients, the clients.

01:42We've all worked in that atmosphere before, and we all really enjoyed it, and want to bring that back.

01:50You'd second that, ladies? Of course. Absolutely.

01:53Yeah, because there is, it seems to be a bit of a national trend of a lot of the independent vets,

01:58as we know, getting bought up by the big chain. So, you'll kind of want to bring back that more

02:03personalised level of service, that more intimate service.

02:07Yeah, and that's what we wanted to do. Control over your clinical practice.

02:15Yeah, I mean, we have the benefit of being able to make all the decisions in-house.

02:20We don't have people telling us what we can or can't do, and that kind of freedom of decision

02:26can be passed on to our clients, as well, which will undoubtedly benefit them.

02:31Great stuff. And I understand you've got a little moggy in at the minute, have you?

02:35Are you looking after?

02:37Yes, yes.

02:38So, that'll be your first customer, won't it?

02:40It is.

02:41Well, it's our first patient to use the kennels.

02:43Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.

02:45Yeah, she's getting luxury treatment later today.

02:48Yeah, so she's christened the kennels.

02:50She has.

02:52Well, thank you, ladies. We'll have a look around, and we wish you all the best with future business.
