We are very fortunate that many of our staff have been part of ‘The Cromwell Family’ for many years and as a team, we are very caring and supportive of one another. Wellbeing is top of the agenda and important to us all – we encourage a better work life balance and have a fantastic team of wellbeing champions who organise regular events including baking competitions, Easter Egg hunts and bake offs.
We enjoy being part of our communities and attending local events to run fun dog shows raising money each year for our chosen charity and encouraging team members to take part. Cromwell Vets also holds regular social events, including summer events, impromptu lunchtime barbeques, and the famous annual Christmas party.
