Meet Our Animal Care Assistants

I have always wanted to work with animals ever since I was wee, i was always outside with all the animals round about my street and asking to go out adventures to see lots of different types of animals.

I have various different qualifications from a NC in animal care an HNC in animal care and I went for a year to uni to study animal biology and science.  I love to learn new things and absolutely love my job and the team we have here at Apex.  I always knew I wanted to work here ever since I did my work experience and became a client!

I am obsessed with sausage dogs and I have one of my own penny so I am always going out with her.  She has a fab time at home with her brofur Felix the cat and they chase each other all the time.  If I’m not with the family or animals then you will find me gaming playing sims or playing Animal crossing.

I have worked at Apex since August 2023 and aim to progress and train as a veterinary nurse in the future.

I have worked in the veterinary industry for over 6 years doing a mixture of Reception and ACA work, so it is definitely the place I want to be!

I grew up in Carnoustie with my family and only recently moved through to Larbert with my partner Owen. I have always been around animals my whole life (mostly dogs!) as my parents have owned, shown and bred large Munsterlanders since 1995, I arrived in 1998 so I was born into my hobby which I love.

We have 5 large munsterlanders at home (Delta, Echo,Star, Koda and Forres) and more recently have welcomed a new breed into our lives and now also have 3 pembroke welsh corgis (Dream, Twix and Caramel)– And yes I do get asked if they are the queens dogs..LOTS!

I spend most of my weekends travelling up and down the UK attending championship dog shows, I am so proud of all my dogs and I have made up 5 UK Champions! I compete at Crufts every year and enjoy every minute of what I do! I started showing the dogs when I was 5 years old and haven’t looked back!

I’ve wanted to work with animals from a young age, was able to work at various stables growing up and when I had my own. I’ve always had cats, and I currently have 3! Also have some fish.

I went to college to do NC animal care and definitely felt like I found my niche. I applied for Apex on the off chance I’d get the job and I was ecstatic that I did. I love being a part of the team here and I love meeting all the clients and their pets.

In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and doing weightlifting, going for hikes and finding new cosy coffee shops. I’d love to advance in my career and progress onto vet nursing.

My Name is Kyle,  I have always had a keen interest in animals, particularly small furries or anything unusual. I spent time exploring different roles in the animal field before studying NC animal care at SRUC.

I first joined Apex in 2022 with no previous experience in a clinical field.  Overtime i grew to love working in such a fast paced environment and the unpredictability of each day.

Through working at Apex I was able to achieve my HNC animal care qualification and hope to further progress and train to qualify as a veterinary nurse.

Outside of work I enjoy painting miniatures, playing video games with friends and looking after my two guinea pigs, Eddie and Neo.

I have always loved being around animals for as long as I can remember, my gran used to breed whippets so I got my first pet when I was three. Whippets are my favourite breed of dog although I love lots of breeds. I have had pets my whole life and currently have a chihuahua named Murray he is a sweet little man. I have owned rats in the past however I have never had a cat but I would like to one day.

I went to college to study animal care and applied sciences, I have worked in a veterinary practice for a year prior to joining the apex team. During that time I studied for my Level 2 diploma as a Veterinary Care Assistant.

In my spare time I enjoy listening to music on my record player, my top albums would have to be by Michael Jackson, George Michael and Ariana Grande. I enjoy going shopping with my friends and trying new restaurants.
