During Southern Field Days 2026, we raised a glass for an awesome large animal vet trio, who have collectively stacked up 65 years of service with us.

Fleur Barker freed her diary from fondling rams to recognise her 30th anniversary (she started in January 1996), Bianca Mackintosh stepped back from scanning cows to celebrate 20 years with us (she started in January 2006), and Lisa Roberts made it off-farm to mark 15 years working here (she started in January 2011). That’s a pretty amazing innings from these three top ladies from our East team. 

It’s a real privilege to work alongside vets who’ve dedicated so many years to caring for you and your animals. Long service isn’t just about time, it’s about the relationships they’ve built, the trust they’ve earned, and the countless animals they’ve helped along the way. We’re so lucky to have such a great team across the business, and these ladies have been at the forefront of that team for so long now. Thanks for all those years, and here’s to many more!
