Stephen Speak

Veterinary Surgeon

Steve qualified from Cambridge University in 1985 and has spent his entire professional career in general practice. He sold his practice in 2018 to allow time to enjoy other activities which include travelling with his wife Lou in their small V.W. camper van, trying to control their wayward Bichon rescue dog called Dave and watching Arsenal F.C. constantly under perform. However, being a vet is in his blood and he is delighted to be working two days a week with the Forest Vets team.

Nicky Love

Veterinary Surgeon

Nicky's entire family have always been huge animal lovers, which meant that during her childhood years they had many pets, including rats, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats and a goat. Nicky had the very fortunate experience of growing up on a poultry farm in South Africa, where she was further exposed to farm animals. This developed into a strong calling to become a vet. Nicky qualified as a veterinarian in 2003 in South Africa and went directly into small animal practice. During her first couple of years in private practice she completed an honours in small animal medicine, which is where her main interest lies. Nicky lives with her two dogs and two cats (who emigrated to the UK alongside). When Nicky is not walking her two dogs, she enjoys photographing insects, mushrooms and flowers. Nicky would summerise all her hobbies to 'involve a certain level of mud!'

Matthew Holgate

Veterinary Surgeon

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!

I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2017 with a BSc (hons) in Zoo Biology. This then lead me to become a Zoo Keeper at Port Lympne Reserve working with primates. After this, I took on teacher training and became an Animal Management Instructor, teaching practical skills with animal care and husbandry at Plumpton College. Veterinary Nursing has always been an interest of mine and a potential career path so I am very excited to start training in the years to come. In my free time I love running and hiking and I live with my husband, cat called Bob and cocker spaniel Toby.

Sadly, we had to have our 20 year old cat Socks euthanized today. Steve and Rosie came to our house and were so kind and compassionate, we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much.

We have been very pleased with the practice, with wonderful care and advice from all the vets we have dealt with. Matt and Steve was very knowledgeable and helped with our Birman cat with complicated neurological issues with speedy referrals, when my cat sadly had to be put to sleep, Matt was caring and un rushed. Recently we have seen Livvy and Nicky, both lovely, kind, warm and professional and a credit to the practice. The reception team also deserve a mention. The little touches for aftercare are very thoughtful too ! Including a toy ! It is reassuring that there is 24 care available in case of an emergency rather than travelling to Tunbridge Wells.
