Read Miss Rachel Platt bio

My Name is Rachel Platt, I have worked for Vets4Pets for 2 years now. I have learnt so much within this role and I have recently been promoted to Head Receptionist. I enjoy my job very much and have a passion for Animals.

I have 2 cats at home called Lily & Moo, they both enjoy running around chasing each other and leaving "hair glitter" everywhere! I have 2 children (well, young adults) 15 & 20 year old boys at home. They keep me busy when I'm not at work, shock horror they can't do much for themselves!

I enjoy going to concerts, I would say festivals however the last one I went to with my partner it rained the whole weekend and I've decided they're not for me!

I look forward to my future with Vets4Pets and will strive to work hard within my new role.
