Meet The Farm Team

I qualified as a vet from Dublin in 1994 and have been a full time farm vet since 1997.

Together with Alistair we established Macpherson O’Sullivan Farm Vets in 2003 to better serve Shropshire farmers, with a specialist farm veterinary service.

This has since progressed into Shropshire Farm Vets.

As a practice we have always tried to educate and inform our clients as much as possible and I am one of several Lantra accredited trainers in the practice.

I organise and run DIY AI training, calf health training and dairy cow nutrition training days on a regular basis.

Graduated Ghent, Belgium 1996. I worked in mixed practices in Four Crosses, Carmarthen and Montgomery before seeing the light in 2004 and focusing on farm animals only.

My interests are Bovine surgery and cattle lameness. I get a lot of satisfaction out of making lame cows better and training clients the correct 5 step foot trim. As a practice we regularly organise foot trimming courses and provide training days.

Recently I became a Mobility Mentor with DairyCo. I’m also passionate about fertility and preventative medicine in sheep.

I graduated from Bristol in 2006 and spent a year in mixed practice in rural Berkshire. During this time, I decided to pursue a career in a farm animal veterinary practice, and joined the team at Mac&O in 2007 which became Shropshire Farm Vets in 2012.

Improving animal health and welfare, whilst enhancing overall farm profitability through good health and fertility management are aspects of my job which I enjoy most.

I undertook a Diploma in Bovine Reproduction at Liverpool University in 2010. This enabled me to develop specialist interests and skills in optimising dairy and beef production systems

I qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 1989 and after working for ten years in England and three years in New Zealand I settled in Shropshire in 2002 working for Abbey Vet Centre before starting Macpherson O’Sullivan LLP with Tim in 2003.

This has progressed on to Shropshire Farm Vets Ltd of which I am now Managing Director.

I am married to Jane and have two children, George and Isla. When I get some time, on a clear night I can be found in a roofless shed with a couple of telescopes taking pictures of galaxies/nebulae.

Otherwise I am known to chase deer in Scotland and take the odd photograph.

I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2006 & spent 4 years working in mixed practice in rural Carmarthenshire and Wiltshire.

 After spending a year and a half working and travelling abroad, including time spent in the dairy heartland of the Waikato in New Zealand’s North Island, I joined the practice as a locum at the end of March 2012.

My main areas of interest are bovine fertility, surgery and the management of Johne’s Disease.

I enjoy judo and walking in the Shropshire countryside with my Labrador and young family.

I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2012. Originally from Staffordshire, I took my first job down in Wiltshire and worked in farm animal practice there until returning to the Midlands to join Shropshire Farm Vets in January 2016.

I have a keen interest in parasitology, particularly in sheep, and enjoy working with shepherds on a flock level to enhance their production and profitability.

Outside of work I play the piano and tinker with cars.

I qualified as a vet from Bucharest in 2014 and after working for two years in the rural side of Romania, I moved to the UK.

Since “the big move” I worked as a Veterinary Meat Hygiene Inspector until October 2017 when I joined Shropshire Farm Vets, bringing me closer to my passion which is working with farm animals.

Outside of work I enjoy fishing, cooking traditional Romanian food for my friends and traveling.

I graduated as a vet from USAMV Cluj-Napoca in Romania in 2004. I worked for 6 years in mixed and small animal practice back home.

 I moved to the UK in 2010 where I worked as a veterinary meat hygiene inspector until April 2011, when I joined an import-export company. After more than 8 years I decided to return to the practical side of the profession and take the opportunity to join Shropshire Farm Vets in March 2020.

In my free time I enjoy walking in nature with my family, skiing and playing football.

I graduated from Lisbon in 2022. In the first couple of years of University, I was lucky to come to England to learn about dairy farming in a farm near Crewe.

Not long after, I did a couple internships in farm veterinary practices in the UK. A few years later I have also studied in Germany for a semester where I saw practice in the farm animal ambulatory clinic in the University of Hannover.

During all these years, I have developed a special interest in bovine fertility, surgery and calf health. 

Outside work I enjoy playing tennis and travelling.

I joined Shropshire farm vets in September 2021 to train as a ATT after spending 16 years in the dairy industry, working in various herdsman and herd manger roles. I am proud to say I have also now taken on the role of Vet Tech! I grew up on a beef and sheep farm in Montgomeryshire I attended Coleg Powys where I studied agriculture. I am extremely passionate about livestock and the agricultural sector which led me to joining shropshire farm vets.

When I’m not working you can find me taking part in various sports football, golf and riding my bikes.

I started working for Shropshire Farm Vets in December 2020 and trained to become an Approved Tuberculin Tester. I am Shropshire born and bred and grew up on a mixed dairy/arable farm which I managed along side my father until recently.

When younger I was involved in the YFC at club level (Much Wenlock YFC) and at county level too. 

I’m married and my wife and I have a great passion for animals and the countryside and love spending our spare time being outdoors and exploring.

I enjoy gardening and love spending time eating out with friends too.

I joined Shropshire Farm Vets in August 2021. I am in training to become an ATT. I have always had a desire to work with livestock. Shropshire Farm Vets has given me a great opportunity to follow my passion for livestock health and welfare. My partner and I have a flock of ewes and enjoy rearing chickens in our spare time. I was a member of Nesscliffe Young Farmers and I’m a keen horse rider.  

I’m part of a small syndicate shoot and currently training my cocker spaniel puppy to work for the season.

I was privileged to become part of Shropshire Farm Vets in October 2021. I have had many roles in the animal sector and have spent the last 8 years working for pets at home most recently as a deputy manager. Growing up around livestock gave me a deep interest for their health and welfare and I am very excited to be back out and about working with them on behalf of Shropshire Farm Vets.

When not working you will find me looking after my own livestock which includes commercial and rare breed sheep, chickens, pigs and horses. I also have a real passion for training and working sheepdogs including my own sheepdog Mel.

I joined Shropshire Farm Vets in June 2022 to train as an ATT.

I have grown up on a beef and arable farm in Shropshire and have worked there for the last 9 years, I have a keen interest in livestock and rear my own beef calves.

​When I’m not working, I enjoy playing tennis & walking my dog.

I first joined the vets as an ATT in December 2020. I’m a keen rugby player and play for Ludlow RFC as a winger. I have travelled many parts of the world including New Zealand, Australia and South East Asia.

I have a keen interest in farming, I work regularly on my family Sheep and Beef farm, alongside looking after my own flock.

I joined Shropshire Farm Vets in March 2024 and became an Approved Tuberculin Tester. I studied animal care at Walford and North Shropshire college and went into farming shortly after. Seven years later I still absolutely love working in the farming industry, meeting new people and learning new things everyday.

I love the countryside and going for walks with my dog on summer days, especially when there is a pub on route.
