Wendy Seager

Receptionist

I hopped onto the Wylie bus in April 2022 as a receptionist and i've loved every minute since. My large family increased shortly after joining ,when i fell in love with a puppy Sprocker ( Miller ) which had come in for his vaccination. I enjoy working in an animal based environment, the humans are pretty awesome here too . Back in the 70's from the age of 9, I liked to raise funds for the RSPCA doing jumble sales and other events in my parents tiny front garden , so i feel that I'm definitely where I should be.
