Veterinary surgeons

After qualifying from Edinburgh University in 2007, Marrianne moved to North Yorkshire to work in a mixed practice, where she was fortunate early on in her career to become a partner. In 2017 she started her own locum business, working in a variety of practices from first opinion, emergency out of hours and a multi-site 24 hour referral hospital. She has a particular interest in small animal preventative and emergency medicine.

When not at work you can catch her at CrossFit, walking in the North Yorkshire Dales or Moors with her family and blowing those cobwebs away dancing Cuban salsa.

Chris graduated from Cambridge University in 1978 and, following a short spell in a practice in Hull, came to work in 1983 for the practice that was to become Cundall & Duffy. Chris is from a well-known local Sherburn family and still lives in the area with his wife. His main clinical interests include equine and farm work. Outside work he is heavily involved with point-to-pointing and still rides his own pointers. His twice-yearly visits to the Cheltenham Festival are set in stone and no-one at the practice can ever remember him missing one!

Unfortunately in July 2017 Chris was paralysed from the waist down after an injury at work involving a bull; despite this he is still an active member of the Cundall and Duffy and Castle Vets Teams. He is able to drive and do Farm visits for advice and to drop off medications, give telephone consultations and is doing a weekly small animal vaccination clinic at the surgery.

Claudia was born in Portugal and moved to the UK in 2019 after completing her master’s degree in 2018 at the University of Lisbon. Her main clinical interests are Endocrinology and Diagnostic Imaging. In her spare time she enjoys taking her Miniature Schnauzer for long walks at the beach, going swimming and travelling the world.

Adele graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2020 and spent her first year in practice in a small animal clinic the Midlands. She recently took the decision to move local to the area and has loved it ever since. Her main interests are surgery and cardiology but also like to see exotic pets too. Outside of work Adele enjoy walking, exploring new places, cooking Japanese food and spending time with her cat Pippa.
