Hi I'm Liz, I have been an administrator since February 2015. Most of you will know me from booking your pets holidays. I work with a great team and enjoy being surrounded by your pets. My own are two Staffies and Bobby the cat.
I started working at Newgate Kennels in August 1999. I was a client at Newgate Kennels and Joel happened to ask me if I knew of anyone who would be willing to put the data base on the new computer he had recently had installed. I agreed to do it and have been here ever since. Originally, I qualified as a Medical Secretary. I enjoy working at Newgate Kennels because I have always been interested in animals, especially dogs and have 5 at home and 2 cats. My spare time is taken up looking after my family, learning Spanish and helping to re-home unwanted animals, especially dogs.
I was born and bred here at Newgate and I am now lucky enough to work here full time. Newgate has always been my home and I have helped out in the business along with the rest of the family. For a while I followed a career in horticulture gaining various City and Guild qualifications and a degree in Landscape Architecture. Since becoming a manager in 1987 I have helped restructure and redesign the business and gained 4 animal related NVQs. I love working here as I get to share all the wonderful pets with a great clientele and my colleagues are my extended family.
