A HUSBAND and wife team have opened a new vets’ practice employing more than 10 people. Chris and Sam Devlin set up Vetsmiths with the help of a £440,000 development loan from Lloyds Bank. The couple made the move to open in West Borough, Wimborne, following the sale of Hillside Veterinary Centre in Corfe Mullen, where Mr Devlin had been a joint owner. The couple say they spotted a gap in the market for a high street veterinary centre in Wimborne. They signed a lease on a 2,900sqft unit which would give the business room to grow. The development loan from Lloyds funded the renovation of the building, which consists of three consultation rooms with an operating theatre and laboratory.
