Our Team Langford Vets encourages a community spirit and excellent learning opportunities.

Colin has been working in general small animal practice since 1993, with a special interest in exotic animal medicine. He qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London, having spent the last part of his course studying with the veterinary department at the Zoological Society of London.

He then spent four years working in a mixed animal practice in Essex, gaining general experience but also building up expertise with the more exotic species when ever the opportunity arose. This was followed by time working for an avian and exotic veterinary centre in Berkshire before moving to Nailsea where he established an exotic clinic alongside his other clinical work.

Colin moved to the Small Animal Practice at Langford in July 2006 with the remit to expand the exotic case load increasing the exposure of the students to the more unusual species that are becoming increasingly common.

Celia qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2016. Since graduated she worked for several years as a general practitioner around London before moving to Bristol.

In May 2022 Celia started a certificate in small animal Ophthalmology so enjoys all things eyes, as well as teaching soft tissue surgery.

In her spare time, Celia enjoys exploring the South west with her naughty Norfolk Terrier.

Siân qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2013 and has since worked in companion animal practice in the UK and Australia. She has a particular interest in surgery and achieved a post-graduate certificate in this field in 2021.

Outside of work Siân can be found playing netball or hiking with friends.  

Claire qualified from the University of Bristol in 2020 and began her career in mixed practice in Devon for 1 year before moving into small animal practice. She joined Langford Vets in 2025. Claire enjoys the variety that the job brings but particularly enjoys consulting and getting to know clients and their pets. She also finds teaching veterinary students very rewarding. Outside of work Claire enjoys walking and exploring the local area.

Julie graduated from the University of Bristol in 2000 and worked in mixed farm animal practice in North Wales, and then mid Wales, where she gained extensive experience working with dairy, beef and sheep.

Away from work Julie is kept busy by her young family and is a keen rugby supporter having retired from her own playing career.

Sarah graduated from the University of Bristol in 2010 before joining the practice as an intern, and she liked it here so much she has stayed on. Her main interests are in monitoring dairy herd performance with data analysis and continuing education through farmers meetings. Outside of work Sarah enjoys hill walking, camping and baking cakes.
