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.

Amanda qualified as a veterinarian in South Africa in 2016. She started out in mixed practice but has since then found a love for emergency and critical care (ECC) as well as internal medicine and so does a combination of night emergency work and day work. Amanda started as a locum with us in September 2020 but became a permanent member of the team in January 2021. She will hopefully be starting her ECC and Medicine certificate this year.

In her free time Amanda likes to spend time travelling, adventuring outdoors and spending time with her family and 2 fur babies, Lola and Juliet.
