Commenting, Miles Russell said: “Rich has been a tremendous president during three particularly challenging years. On behalf of the VMG, I would like to thank him for the fantastic contribution he has made to the association and its development.
“During my presidency, we will continue to focus on extending the range of support and help we offer to leaders and managers, as well as promoting the value of non-clinical CPD to help veterinary teams meet the challenges to come over the next few years.
“Of course, it will be a huge privilege to join with my fellow directors in welcoming delegates to VMG Congress in Stratford upon Avon in June. We look forward to welcoming the delegates to two days leadership and management training and sharing of experiences to help develop ourselves.”
