JF Nell BVSc MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

JF Nell Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon Companion Care Vets Colchester
Originally from South Africa I qualified from Onderstepoort, Pretoria in 2001.  My name is Johannes Frederick but I am known to most as ‘JF’. When I came to the UK I worked in Newark in a mixed animal practice. I then moved to focus on small animals at a practice in Sudbury Suffolk. In 2006 I was thrilled to get the opportunity to partner in Colchester Companion Care Vet Surgery. My team has gone from strength to strength, welcoming new clients and their pets. At home I have a 7 year old cat called Katie and also Twiet - a 4 year old African Gray Parrot - who says: ‘Red Bull Gives You Wings!’ I spend my spare time playing cricket, squash and golf, or on my allotment.

Outside of work she is kept on her toes by FOUR Staffordshire bull terriers: Dexter, Tessa, Zola (who can smile on demand) and Kai.
