In a press release, FIVP said the new collaboration reflects its commitment to working with independent businesses and that it will further enhance its extensive range of member benefits and services.

FIVP spokesperson Jacqui Garrett said: “FIVP highly values the support it receives from industry partners and is eager to work with organisations that support independent business. Rudlings Wakelam’s reputation as a trusted advisor to the veterinary industry makes it an ideal companion for FIVP member practices.”
