CHESHIRE Pet has welcomed two new members to its Holmes Chapel team.

Martyn Brophy is an experienced veterinary nurse and April Almond will be joining the reception team.

Martyn, 27, who lives in Oldham, has worked in practice for over ten years and has a particular interest in exotic animals. He joined Cheshire Pet following a trip from a friend, who is a client at the practice and told him about its specialism in exotic animals.

Martyn jumped at the chance to work with Molly Varga, who is one of the leading exotic mammalian specialists in the UK. His role will see him caring for the increasing number and varity of exotic animals that regularly visit the practise.

April, 26, is originally from Australia and landed the receptionist role after a career as a flight attendant.
