Linnaeus-owned Davies Veterinary Specialists and Ellie West, an Anaesthesia and Analgesia Specialist at the practice, have been recognised with Veterinary Green Awards by the Webinar Vet at its Virtual Congress 2022.

Davies jointly won Most Green Practice alongside the Old Hall Veterinary Centre in Cumbria 

Ellie West, who is sustainability lead for Linnaeus nationally, collected the Most Green Individual award as jointly with Laura Higham, the founder of voluntary group Vet Sustain. 

Ellie was recognised for her leadership in the veterinary sector by raising awareness of sustainability and encouraging others to make a difference.

She said: “Winning this award is a real honour, and I’m very grateful to be recognised by my peers in the veterinary community.

"We can only make a difference to the environment by working collaboratively, so I am lucky to have so many supportive colleagues at Davies and Linnaeus who also play their part in making this sector more sustainable.”

Davies' environmental lead, Rachel Evans said: "We are so proud to have won this exciting new award.

“We plan to put the prize money towards our tree planting venture with Forest Carbon.

"Sustainability awards not only help motivate and acknowledge achievements but also help with raising vital awareness; by sharing enthusiasm, ideas and practical tips across the veterinary profession we can make an even greater impact on sustainability to support our planet.”
