Alice Miller graduated from Bristol University 16 years ago and went straight into farm practice in Dorset where she has stayed ever since.

She holds a master’s degree in Bovine Reproduction and has completed the Foundations in Advanced Veterinary Practice module as part of the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice.

Alice is a Director of the British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA), leads their Education group, is editor of their Cattle Quarterly magazine and serves as BCVA’s representative on the Red Tractor Dairy Sector Board. In this role, she champions the interests of UK cattle vets and their clients while remaining closely engaged with the latest industry standards and best practices.

Alice is excited to see her dream turn reality, by opening a new independent farm vet practice, where she can put years of clinical expertise and business management skills into practice, to offer local farmers a new perspective!

 Quenton, a farmer’s son, is Dorset born and bred. His family have been farming in the centre of the county for 4 generations. 

Following a postgraduate degree in real estate, Quenton spent 7 years working in central London as a qualified chartered surveyor before returning to the farm ‘for a summer’ in 2010. 

15 years later, Quenton is now fully established in farm life. He now also enjoys using the skills he learnt away from the farm and a life-time on it, to provide a valuable, ‘other side of the hedge’ view on the dynamics between farm and veterinary businesses. 

In his spare time he enjoys learning new excel formulas, cricket and photography!
