Best in Class, Bacon Rolls and Beer!
The Royal Norfolk Show has been held almost every year since 1847 and this year looks set to be a bumper event!
Three Rivers Veterinary Group will be there as usual, to welcome visitors with bacon rolls, cheese and biscuits, beer, scones and jam and ice creams. Sounds delicious, but what makes it even better is that all of the food on offer will come from their own farm clients, highlighting the wonderful produce available in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Two pretty much identical jobs: same area of the country, similar role responsibilities, similar remuneration, similar business size and structures. Yet, one ad receives 4 quality applicants and the other receives none. Why?
Both veterinary practices have clear plans for the future and are investing in their current teams and business to ensure provision of a quality service for clients. Both practices could be a great place to work. However, one of these practices has a reputation as a good employer, the other has none.
