Steph joined the Garston team after leaving a successful career as a teacher of 17 years.  She was looking for a change so that she could spend more time with her partner, two teenage children and her pets. Steph is an animal lover and grew up in South Africa volunteering at various charities from an early age.  Steph has been a Garston client for many years and has always admired the professional and ‘family’ values that we portray, she said that ‘It is a privilege to work here and its certainly not a façade, everyone is welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly and they all really care for every animal that comes through the doors’.
