Lauren Sanders – Weekend Assistant    Time in Industry : 2009 –  Present I first started at Mercia in June 2009 when I did two weeks work experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was really pleased when Lesley said that I could continue to work at Mercia voluntarily on Saturdays and in the school holidays. I enjoyed watching all of the operations and feel privileged to have been able to see such a wide range of them during my time at Mercia. Since September 2010 I have become an employed member of staff. I spend most of my working day cleaning, although I do still get to see consultations, especially unusual ones. I am currently studying at Tomlinson Hall sixth form, and am hoping to go on to University to become a veterinarian. Working at Mercia has helped me confirm that I definitely want to be a vet.
