Alison Smith

I started working for Orwell Vets in January 2006. For 11 years I managed the Stutton branch which I enjoyed very much. I have worked at all 4 branches over the years but am now settled at the Berners Street branch where I took on a senior receptionist role in July 2017.

I have a passion for chickens and I volunteer for The British Hen Welfare Trust helping to re-home ex commercial hens. I have 3 bantam hens called Binky, Lola and Dolly, they are very pretty but are not great egg layers!! I also have 3 little dogs; Rio a jack Russell, Stanley a chihuahua cross and Delilah a chihuahua.

I recently completed the Veterinary Support Assistant level 3 certificate and completed a chicken behaviour and welfare course.

Any spare time I have I like to spend travelling in my motorhome, cooking and walking.
