I live in Runcorn with my wife Leah and our fur baby French bulldog Lola who is spoilt rotten.

After 10 years of grounds maintenance I decided on a career change. I've always wanted to work with dogs but never really had the opportunity to do so, so when I came across the chance to apply to Creature Comforts I knew it would be the perfect role for me.

I've always had a passion for animals, especially dogs, having grown up around various family members pets and our own, I'm also used to being out in all weathers. I'm extremely grateful to be part of the team here at Creature Comforts Cheshire and can't wait to see what the future brings.
