Meet the Team

Hello, I am Graeme one of the owners of Henlow Vets. I was born in St Pauls Walden near Hitchin; the son of a veterinary surgeon and school teacher. I love everything about the countryside but most of all the animals. I studied agriculture at university and started work for a multinational animal health company in 1999. I have had a variety of interesting roles over 18 years advising vets, pet owners and farmers in a wide range of medicine and husbandry areas. 

My most recent roles before setting up Henlow Vets involved management of a farm animal veterinary practice and a business development role helping vets provide better services to pet owners. The knowledge gained in these positions and my passion to do what I teach lead me to fulfil a life-long dream to open a practice. 

I have lived in Shefford for the last 15 years with my wonderful and supportive family Caroline, Jack and Rosie and our dogs Teddy and Lilley. Outside of work when I am not driving to a football event, I love nature and can often be found walking the footpaths of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. 

Six years ago, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening a veterinary practice to care for pets in our local community. I am so proud that we can provide such a high level of care to so many pets. We are constantly striving to improve the practice and 2020 not only saw us all struck by Covid-19 but also the start of an ambitious expansion of our practice facilities. It took 18 months but we have transformed the practice to provide both cat and dog specific treatment and hospitalisation areas and 24hr emergency cover on-site. I really look forward to meeting you and welcoming you and your pets into our practice family!
