Our History
When Chris and Kirsty Barker set up Ashlea Veterinary Centre in 1994, they were taking a major decision at a difficult time - both had left their jobs and Kirsty was eight months pregnant! Chris and Kirsty quickly established themselves in the community, moving to our purpose-built facility on Port Road Business Park in 1998. We have been delivering compassionate care and a top quality service ever since.
