Our Admin Team

Donna is our Practice Manager here at Wolds Veterinary Clinic.

Donna originally qualified as a Beauty Therapist in 2001 at Lowestoft College, Suffolk and worked within the beauty industry for 4 years. She soon came to realise though that it wasn’t her passion and so looked for a change of career. The change of career led her to a Receptionist position in a small animal veterinary practice in Suffolk.

Donna met her husband and moved to Lincolnshire in 2010 and continued to work within the veterinary industry in a larger veterinary practice as a Receptionist and in Administration. Donna has worked at Wolds since we opened our doors in September 2017 as a Receptionist initially and now as Practice Manager.

She has three beautiful children: Lily, George and Roni. She also has two spaniels Bobby & Dotty.

Justine is our Duty Practice Manager. She was initially new to the veterinary industry having spent 27 years in Retail Management, but after spending a month helping out, she enjoyed it so much, that that she never left!

Justine really enjoys using her management skills in a new environment and industry, but the thing she enjoys most about working at Wolds is the people – both staff and all the different clients.

Justine is married to Carlos and they have two lovely sons: Sam and Charlie. They have a dog named Baxter and a cat called Woody, both named by my children (Baxter from Anchorman and Woody from Toy Story!)

In her spare time she enjoys eating out with friends and going to the cinema. She particularly likes a good horror or ghost story!

Louise is our Deputy Practice Manager.  As well as being part of the Management team, Louise is also the main person involved in processing our pet insurance claims.

Louise has worked in veterinary practices for many years and enjoys meeting everyones furry friends!

She is lucky enough to own a beautiful labrador called Dudley and they like exploring the countryside together.  Louise also has a big passion for horses and spends much of her spare time caring for and riding her own horse.

Jo is our Laceby Road Practice Manager here at Wolds. She has worked in the veterinary industry for 14 years, working her way up from receptionist, as she always loves a new challenge.

Jo originally worked at Wolds when we first opened in 2017. She later moved away to support her husband’s career, before returning to Wolds over four years ago — and her Wolds family has been growing ever since.

Jo achieved her SQP qualification during her time in the dispensary and has also undertaken additional CPD to support her colleagues and our patients.

Outside of work, Jo is kept busy with her three dogs — Tommy, Paddy and Reacher — and her feisty cat, Rose. Jo and her daughter, Kaci, are both animal crazy and certainly enjoy keeping everyone busy! She also loves to travel whenever she gets the chance.

Jodi is a Receptionist here at Wolds.

She graduated from Bishop Burton College in 2016 with an Animal Behaviour and Welfare degree. Jodi previously worked in a pharmacy as a medicines dispenser, although her dream has always been to work in a veterinary practice.  Jodi has gained her AMTRA SQP qualification in companion animals.

Jodi is now delighted to be following her dream here at Wolds and loves that she is continuing to learn so much along the way. She especially enjoys meeting the clients and getting to know their animals with their individual characters. Jodi also thinks it is special to be a part of such a friendly, close nit team.

Jodi has a Vizsla named Obie and two cats called Luna and Lando, who keep her busy with their mischievous antics together at home!

Outside of work, Kat enjoys spending time with friends and family. She is the owner of a 14-year-old cat who loves to nap during the day while she is at work, and she enjoys expressing her creativity through window art whenever she gets the chance.

Molly joined the brilliant Reception team at Wolds Veterinary Clinic in October 2020. It had always been her dream to work in a veterinary practice due to her love for animals and after working as a Receptionist in a GP practice for 5 years, Molly decided to make the move.

Molly lives with her husband, Adam, along with crazy Golden Retrievers, Nancy and Norman and their guinea pigs Betty and Dora.

In her spare time, Molly enjoys going out with her family and friends, shopping and going on long walks. Molly also has a huge love for donkeys so likes to visit donkey sanctuaries!
