Lindsay Johnson, Group Head of Reception for Stockport-based Woodcroft Veterinary Group, has been shortlisted in this year’s Petplan Veterinary Awards.
Now celebrating its 22nd year, the awards continue to go from strength to strength, with Petplan receiving well over 31,000 nominations this year. The awards recognise the nation’s most outstanding veterinary professionals, who have been nominated by their colleagues and pet owners for their continued hard work and dedication to keeping pets healthy, despite facing huge challenges and restrictions this year. Like last year, the awards will be taking place virtually, with comedian and actor Marcus Brigstocke hosting the excitement.
Lindsay Johnson (pictured) was shortlisted for the esteemed title of Practice Support Staff of the Year. Commenting on her nomination, she said:
I was amazed when I got the phone call telling me I was a finalist.
“I feel honoured that someone has taken the time out of their busy lives to nominate myself especially due to the last, stressful, trying Covid year.”
Isabella von Mesterhazy, head of marketing at Petplan, commented:
“The judges had a very tough time picking the finalists in each category this year. The quality of entries has been incredibly high and we’re delighted to have received so many nominations from the veterinary community and indeed pet owners themselves.
“The awards recognise outstanding individuals and teams who go the extra mile to care for the nation’s pets. The Petplan Veterinary Awards provide an opportunity to say thank you for the exceptional work carried out by members of the veterinary profession and are particularly special this year given the extra devotion displayed while continuing to care for the nation’s pets during COVID-19.”
Winners will be announced during the virtual awards ceremony on 6th May 8.30pm, hosted on the Petplan UK Facebook page.
