The BestUKVets Awards celebrate veterinary practices that delight their clients and are presented to practices across the UK with the most 4 or 5 star online reviews in each category.
During our opening year we hoped we might win the award for Best New Start-Up and were absolutely delighted when we did. However that wasn't all as we won several awards…
- Best New Start-Up
- Top 25
- Best in Essex
- Best in England
We are the first practice to win the gold award in their opening year and are so grateful to every client who wrote a review for us.
As the overall winner, we were invited to two awards presentations. Myself, Verity and Ness represented the team at the official awards ceremony in London, attended by over 150 veterinary professionals.
The following day we held a local celebration with our entire team and as many pet owners as the village hall could comfortably accommodate.
"The BestUKVets Awards were established to reward vet practices for outstanding feedback from pet owning clients. We are delighted for April and Weeley Veterinary Centre staff. Having read so many of their wonderful reviews, it is no surprise that they won. Local pet owners are very fortunate to have this new practice.” Susie Samuel, CEO of VetHelpDirect
Thank you to all our wonderful clients for their support and to my incredible colleagues who have helped me to create the best practice I could ever have hoped for. This award is a reflection of all their hard work and commitment to you and your pets.
Kind regards,
April
Update 2024… We did it again!
This year's awards ceremony took place in Bristol. I attended with Gemma, Aiyesha and Tegan, and am delighted to say we dominated for the second year in a row. We were crowned Best Small Vet UK 2024 and received an armful of trophies, including Best New Vet UK. A highlight was being presented with the very special Elite Award in recognition of our commitment to maintaining our exceptional standards. It was a fantastic day and we celebrated back in Essex with a whole team photoshoot and celebratory lunch.
I would once again like to thank every single person who wrote a review for us. We could not have done it without you.
Kind regards,
April
Final 2024 update!
Before the end of 2024, we added two more awards to our collection (cue more jokes from visitors re the need for an extension to house them all!) We've always known our reception team are the very best. I have worked with several during my career and our ladies are exceptional in every single way, so I was thrilled this was made official when they were awarded the title of “Best Veterinary Reception Team UK.” If you are already registered with us, this award won't surprise you in the slightest. I honestly cannot sing their praises loudly enough.
We are also delighted to be recognized at a local level and received the runner up trophy for Empowering Women at the Tendring4Growth Awards 2024.
What an incredible way to finish our second year.
