A Littlehampton vet, Dr David Hodges, has been named as one of the top vets in the country at a prestigious industry awards event.
David Hodges from Stellar Vets, which is based at 14-16 Anchor Springs in Littlehampton, was shortlisted from more than 22,000 nominations, as one of just three finalists in the Petplan Vet of the Year award. He has been nominated for the award for last two years, but this is the first time he has been chosen as a finalist.
David Hodges said: “I always wanted to be a vet since I was three years old. I followed my dreams and it’s the best job in the world. To be nominated by so many pet owners in Littlehampton is heart-warming and humbling. For them to take time out and vote for me is just fantastic.
“The awards are nationwide, so there is a huge amount of competition, and it means so much as they are voted for by the people that really count – my clients and colleagues.”
Practice nurse, Wendy Collins from Stellar Vets, added: “Littlehampton really does have its own Supervet! So much has been achieved by David Hodges and the team at Stellar Vets. We only opened the practice 14 months ago, so to gain this national recognition is a fabulous feat that really puts Littlehampton on the map.”
