A former Marlborough vet practice receptionist has launched a new business inspired by lockdown.

Tracey Churchill worked the front desk at Drove Vets. She has set up Petmedcollect - helping pet owners with transport difficulties.

"It's a local service," she explained. "It's for pet owners without transport who would book a taxi to arrange vet collections or visits. It provides a cheaper service plus peace of mind as I have worked in vet practice for over 20 years. I take people's pets to the vets and then bring them home safely and explain their treatments, and the vet can speak directly to owners on the phone."
