Innis Cloete

Veterinary Surgeon, practice principal

I am originally from sunny South Africa, where I did my training as well. My wife, who is also a vet, and I moved to the UK in 2000 and have both been practising here every since. Our family has grown in the last year and we have a little girl.
I haven't got any pets at present as our pet wears nappies and cries for her bottle. I am particulary interested in eye medicine, orthopaedics as well as poultry. I am an avid Springbok supporter and can't wait until we claim the Webb Ellis Trophy back from the English in the next World Cup.

Mahlia Darke

Veterinary Nurse

I grew up in Suffolk, completed a BTEC National Diploma in animal care at Otley college and have been in practice since 2001 with both large and small animal experience. Following a further two years at Writtle College, I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in January 2006, and am now completing a canine pyschology course.
My menagerie of pets are: two rabbits (Milo and Jake), a Chihuahua x Pekingnese called Spencer, Bella the Labrador, and two cats (Phoebe and Phoenix).
In my spare time after looking after my own animals, I enjoys dog walking and horse riding.
I am planning to marry Adrian, a farmer, in June 2006.

Emma Billsberry

Receptions/trainee nurse, Framlingham

Originally from the North East, I moved to Suffolk in 2000. Emma worked on farms and in livery stables before taking 6 months out to travel, then marry husband Ollie in Fiji at the end of their trip.
Emma is now settled back in Suffolk and live with our six dogs who take up most of our spare time. Peggy my black lab often comes into work and loves a fuss from everyone who visits the surgery.
When I’m not in my wellies walking the dogs or falling off a horse, I love eating out and taking a couple of the dogs to the pub - to socialise them of course!!!!
