Diane started working at Mildmay Veterinary Hospital in 2000, so she has seen the practice develop and grow. She has experienced Mildmay move premises and most recently gain hospital status. Over the years, Diane has established good relations with clients and their animals. She will often be found on the other side of the desk talking to clients and making a fuss over their pets. Working at Mildmay means that every day is different as you never know what animal is going to come through the door next. In her spare time, Diane enjoys seeing her family and there is nothing that makes her happier than being out in the countryside walking with her four legged friend Inca, who is a black Labrador.
