After tense negotiations which stretched well into the night, Jenny Smith MRCVS has been confirmed this morning as the new face of VetSurgeon.org.
Jenny, who qualified earlier this year (congratulations), will appear in advertisements for the site in Veterinary Practice magazine, The London Vet Show Guide and Cattle Practice. She said: "I'm only too pleased to help promote VetSurgeon.org. It helped me understand what happens in the real world whilst I was at university, and I got my very first job as a veterinary surgeon through the contacts I made on the site."
Jenny is the third face of VetSurgeon, replacing Niall Taylor MRCVS, who has held the post since taking over from Gillian Mostyn MRCVS in December 2009. He said: "I'm ruined. Ruined, you hear. Without this contract, I'll probably have to go and open branches of Aldi on wet Saturday afternoons."
In fine tradition, Jenny is donating her £100 fee to the Northern Rose Boxer Rescue charity.
PS: Whilst you're here, take a moment to see our latest job opportunities for vets.
Good luck, Jenny, and welcome. It is most refreshing to think that the site is being promoted so attractively by new blood.
Tim.
I'm gutted, has no one any respect for wisdom, chiselled looks and seasoned maturity anymore - fine wines etc.
Still, one must be magnanimous even in defeat - good luck Jenny, remember, keep your head in the clouds but your feet on the ground. It's a rough tough world out there in show biz land, be true to yourself!
Now, I need to find a way to pay all my plastic surgeon's outstanding bills...
50p a week perhaps?
Niall
Niall... I shall keep your very wise words in my head at all times on my soon to be pending book/promo tour ;) I'll keep an eye out for you at the local aldis!
