James qualified from Edinburgh University in 1986 and worked in mixed animal practice before taking on Bond Street with his wife, Sue, in 1993. He says “the pleasure of the job is meeting clients with their pets and building a good relationship to provide excellent service for both." He has three children, three dogs, three horses and a cat at home. He also enjoys fishing and mountain biking .

Jon qualified from Liverpool Veterinary School with Distinction, he then studied for and achieved a Royal College Certificate in Veterinary Radiology. After stints in Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Congleton, Hartford and Wilmslow, he joined James and Sue McCance in Macclesfield at Bond Street when the current site opened in 2000. Jon has an elderly rescue dog named Dora, for who short walks are the order of the day. An uneasy truce between Dora and Joe, the new rescue cat, is ongoing. Hopefully he’ll learn to stop tormenting her one day. Jon cycles whenever he can, preferably in sunny destinations abroad. He's challenged himself in the mountains of Europe and Morocca in the past few year.
