Jacqui has been with the practice since the mid-1990s when it was still owned by Stuart Easby and Matt Brash. At the weekends she enjoys embroidery, gardening and getting out into the countryside, and seems to spend a lot of time watching cricket, not always when she chooses to!

Charlie joined Battle Flatts in 2014 and works between the Pocklington and Stamford Bridge surgeries. When she is not working she likes nothing more than going for long walks with her dogs Paddy and Spider and maybe finishing off at the pub.

Elizabeth joined Battleflatts in 2022 after serving 34 years as a registered human nurse. She is based at both our Stamford Bridge and Strensall surgeries.

Liz has a collection of animals, one cat called Roo and 2 dogs called Simba and Gem. Gem is deaf and knows sign language! She also has five geese and two pigs called Pinky and Perky, who are sisters. Liz also had a very, very fluffy cat called Bubble, who she rescued after being covered in gloss paint, Bubble now lives a sunny life in Scarborough with her son.

Wendy joined the practice May 2018 as a receptionist based at our Norton branch, however she covers for holidays at all four of our branches when needed. She lives in the country with her farmer partner and their three pooches, Izzy, Amber and Bella. She loves all animals, dogs especially, but also enjoys seeing the more exotic species that come into our Stamford Branch. Wendy also loves her holidays and is always jetting off somewhere new!

Kate started working for Battle Flatts in 2001 and is the receptionist at Pocklington. She loves her job very much and feels like she is part of an exclusive club where you get together with friends and talk about our pets! In her spare time Kate likes gardening and reading and watching her new additions, her chickens; they are fantastic pets and so much fun.

Karen joined Battle Flatts Veterinary Clinic in 2016 and is based at the Pocklington branch, where she loves to meet and greet the clients and their pets. Karen enjoys walking her dogs, Ginny and Bess, on their family farm and in her spare time likes listening to music and baking.

Shannon joined the practice in February 2021.

Chloe joined the Battle Flatts Team as a receptionist in October 2017. She can mainly be found at the Stamford Bridge branch but may occasionally be seen over at Strensall. She moved to Yorkshire in 2017 and so far is loving life up here. Chloe has three of what she would call ‘her babies.’ She has a Dutch Rabbit called Flash, a Corn Snake called Sheldon and a very spoiled rescue cat called Herbie. Her favourite animals are Bears but unfortunately they don’t make very good pets! When Chloe isn’t at work she enjoys kickboxing, gaming, reading, going to the cinema and golfing (only when the weather is nice!). She is also a big foodie and enjoys eating out at different restaurants.
