Positive agenda

As the nights shorten and we start to drive to and from work in more and more daylight it’s the right time of the year to take a positive and optimistic view of the year ahead.

Despite many practices reporting a reduction in footfall, the overall veterinary market is showing an increase in value. When you take in to account the economic climate and the sustained period of cold weather, which brought airports and businesses (not NVS!) to a standstill, the overall results are encouraging.

While in the short term there may be disappointment with current results the longer term outlook is optimistic. NVS is busy improving its internal infrastructure as well as delivering external innovation. This year we will deliver 6 new services to our customers including Super Indices and a new veterinary insurance to help you support your clients and ultimately drive your business forward.

With our “glass half full” approach we are looking forward to working with you to deliver improved services and ensure that they meet your business needs.

Finally, a brief mention of the UK National Karting Competition. The idea was to try to develop fun opportunities for a relaxed social interaction with a competitive element. This has been a tremendous success this year and I would like to thank the attendees and the sponsors for their support. Having attended 2 of the 10 events I can assure you that enthusiasm and drive is alive and kicking hard in the veterinary profession. Look out for the chance to enter the 2012 competition.
