Vet’s Klinic – a few days to go…

With just 6 days to go until our grand open day this Sunday, Vet’s Klinic is very nearly finished and ready – and we are all getting very, very excited!

It’s been a hectic last couple of weeks as the builders have been working around the clock to get everything finished, and our IT developers glued to their keyboards as they put the finishing touches to our amazing website system. Although everything is looking good now, it;s been a really stressful time as we’ve had all sorts of problems and challenges to face, ranging from the glass not fitting to ‘computer says no’ errors on the website! However, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team we’ve sorted out all but a few last issues and everything is finally looking good for our official launch at the weekend.

As well as the builders and developers being hard at work, we’ve also welcomed our teamof wonderful vets and nurses to the premises this week. Ed, Jenny and Adrian the vets, Becks, Claire, Stacey and Katie the nurses and Sarah and Melinda the auxiliary nurses have been busy sorting out all the final details and getting everything ready for our first clients next week.

Away from all the work at the practice, we’ve also been launching the practice to Swindon’s pet owners with a series of radio and press adverts, and letting everyone know about the practice – and our fantastic launch offer where we are giving away 200 free pet vaccinations to the first clients to register and book through our website, www.vetsklinic.co.uk. If you’re in Swindon or nearby, don’t miss out on this amazing offer – just visit the website, sign up and book your pets in.

Plans for the open day on Sunday 19th are also coming on well, so we really look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the day!

Vet’s Klinic – almost there!

It’s been an exciting – but stressful – few days at the Vet’s Klinic building site as the construction program nears the end. It is looking amazing and we all can’t wait to get started and fill it with pets and people!

The biggest excitement of the week was yesterday when the glass wall was installed between the prep room and waiting room. This is one of the key parts of the whole design and will allow our waiting clients to see the staff in action and be reassured that we are taking the very best care of their pets. It is a major installation – 10 panes of glass 12mm thick and 3.5 metres high, with each one weighing 120kg – and it was all going well up to the last pane. Unfortunately at this point it became clear that the glass was very slightly too big for the opening, and despite lots of squeezing and fiddling by the installers, by the end of the day the last pane was still obstinately refusing to fit. As a result the manufacturers are going to have to make a replacement sheet and get it installed as soon as possible – time is now getting very tight ahead of our planned opening in a couple of weeks time!

It’s all pretty stressful at the moment but I’m sure it will all be worth it in the end when Vet’s Klinic is finally open and offering an amazing and unique service to Swindon’s pet owners!
