Dr Timothy Richardson

Dr Timothy Richardson

Regional Director

I qualified in 1998 from Cambridge University and worked in mixed practice in rural Nottinghamshire before moving to London and working in small animal practice. In 2009 I bought and ran a small animal clinic in Richmond, south west London. In the winter of 2012 I relocated to Iceland, and was lucky enough to work in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I spent time working in small animal practice and also for the Government Veterinary Authority, before leaving the glaciers and Northern Lights and returning to the UK in late 2016. I settled back into UK life working at a 24 hour hospital in north west London, and joined Medivet as Regional Director for the Southend region this October.

I live in London, and as is often the case with London living, my apartment is too small for pets! I have an Icelandic horse back in Iceland who I visit whenever I can. I enjoy all that London has to offer outside of work, including live music. I renovated an old timber house whilst living in Iceland, and have been bitten by that bug so I am looking for my next project here in the UK.

I worked in clinical practice for 20 years, eventually becoming Head Nurse of a busy main centre of an 8 branch group. In 2014 it was time for a new challenge and I moved to the Medivet Group to become Area Manager of the Southend region. I have never looked back.

I enjoy the varied role and working with the amazing regional team. My job can be challenging but it is also very rewarding and I look forward to spending many years within Medivet family.

I am the proud owner of a dog called Charlie and a cat called Tatty.

Area Manager

I started my veterinary career at Medivet Southend in September 2000, completing my first year of my veterinary nursing portfolio and qualification.

In the summer of 2002, I left Medivet and moved into the charity side of the veterinary world working at the PDSA and qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse. I worked with the PDSA from 2002 until 2015, gaining an abundance of experience in an extremely busy hospital and specialising in Schedule 3 Surgery, Ward Management and Nurse Clinics. I also progressed my career into management and oversaw the running of the nursing team and wonderful night team!

I returned to the Medivet family in July 2015 as Head Of Theatre at the busy 24hour hospital in Southend, progressing to Deputy Head Nurse and then receiving the promotion to Assistant Area Manager in March 2017.

I have a keen interest in neurological cases, and unashamedly obsessed with pugs. I am an avid dog rescuer - currently I share my home with my Pugs: Kiki and Ida, a chug called Herb and a crazy crossbreed called Fraggle.
