Matt's Profile

Dr Matthew Holgate

Telephone: 01825 766006

Matt graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 1999. He initially worked at a mixed Practice in Northumberland where the majority of Matt's work consisted of treating farm and equine patients.

Matt moved to London in 2001 with his family, and his work transferred to a small animal Practice.

Matt enjoyed treating patients both surgically and medically at this time. After a couple of years working at various Practices within the London area, Matt joined the Medivet Group as a Branch Partner.

Matt had his own successful Practice in Battersea for five years before becoming more involved within management roles for the region. This meant Matt participated in both clinical and non-clinical work for a number of years understanding all aspects of the Veterinary industry. He also became involved in the Medivet graduate development programme. Recently, Matt has moved back into sole clinical work and is thoroughly enjoying consulting two days per week here at The Forest Vet Maresfield.

We feel very lucky Matt has joined our team with his wealth of knowledge. In Matt's spare time (which does not happen often!) he enjoys spending time with his family and caring for their dog, cat, chickens and sheep!
