In loving memory of Alison Hawkes founder of Mercury Vets

(1959-2018 RIP)

 

Alison was truly amazing, she was loved not only by our clients here at Mercury but by all of their pets too. Alison started Mercury Vets in 2009, we thought she was mad initially, setting up a mobile practice all on her own. She said it would prove invaluable in the future of the veterinary industry. Well as always she was right.

People soon realised how much more relaxing it was not only for their pets but as an owner to have their pets treated at home rather than the stressful travel to the vet practises.

Alison lost her battle with cancer in 2018, she was a great friend and will be missed but always remembered here at Mercury.
