A SUCCESSFUL veterinary practice is celebrating a landmark.

Anne and Andy MacGregor took on Ashlands Veterinary Centre in Ilkley 15 years ago, and this week toasted the occasion with staff.

The Leeds Road centre was established in 1991 by Geoff and Geraldine Hale with Pam Braithwaite, and Mr and Mrs MacGregor took over on March 3, 2000.

They started with three members of staff, and now have 31 based over three locations, treating nearly 8,000 animals.
