Started working for WCF on the 11th October 2004 as Retail Operations Manager based in Wigton. Three years later he became Product and Marketing Manager. He has been integral to the current evolution to our Pet & Equestrian store concept. More recently taking on the role of General Manager – Commercial. Outside of work he is involved in the world of dogs, showing, breeding and judging at open and championship show level here and abroad.

Anna started with WCF in 1993 as a full-time sales assistant and has seen many changes over the years as the business progressed from its animal medicine and farming input days through to the pet and equestrian business we are now. She became manager of the Castle Douglas store in 2006 and is fortunate enough to have been in the role long enough to see the full refurbishment of the store during 2017. In her spare time she enjoys training and competing with her Labradors and also enjoys horse riding when she has time. Her passion is animals, especially dogs, and she has been encouraged to develop this through WCF. Anna is currently expanding her knowledge in the field of dog behaviour and fitness.

I started working at WCF in 1974 after leaving school at the age of 16 as a junior office clerk at our Ellel branch near Lancaster. After 9 1/2 years I left to have my 2 children, but returned in 1987 and moved with the company in 1990 to their current site at Claughton. I have been manager here for over 15 years. When I’m not at work I love looking after my 2 grandchildren, walking the family dog and cycling.

I have worked for WCF since February 2020 as the Manager of our wigton store. I have previous retail experience as a Trading Manager for Somerfield and Cooperative. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, anything creative, learning how to (hopefully) grow my own fruits and vegetables and walking my Chug dog, Rocco.
