Marie has worked with exotic and zoo species for the last 20 years.
She has completed the RCVS certificate in Zoological medicine with distinctions in reptile, avian, zoo collection and wildlife examinations and a credit in pet mammals. She is one of a small number of vets to hold the RCVS Diploma in Zoological Medicine with examination to Specialist level in reptile, bird, small mammal, zoo and wildlife medicine. She has been accredited as an RCVS Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, the highest level of veterinary medicine recognised in the UK. Marie is also recognised as a certified Aquatic veterinarian by the World Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Association based on her experience and training working with fish, as well as aquatic birds, reptiles and mammals.
Outside of clinical work Marie runs a small family farm, provides expert guidance for zoo inspections to the Secretary of State, acts as an expert on animal welfare and is writing her second textbook on exotic animal medicine.
Liz has worked extensively with exotic species in both private veterinary practice and in zoo collections, as well as in emergency and critical care clinics. She is a very experienced veterinary nurse and exotic animal keeper. Her own animals include rescue parrots, ducks, and a wide range of tortoise species.
Liz also holds Diplomas in parrot behaviour and herpetology, and in the winter months runs a tortoise hibernation service overseeing the preparation, hibernation and wake up of up to 80 tortoises!
Marie and Liz have worked together in previous years, providing care to zoo and companion exotic animals and create a formidable team!
Steph joined Evolution Exotics in March 2025 and covers everything from front of house client communication to assisting with managing the wide range of patients we have visiting or staying at the clinic. Steph has extensive management, veterinary administration and hands on clinical care experience in previous roles and ensures that the days run as smoothly as is possible!
In her spare time Steph is constantly on the go, caring for her horse, walking her dog and maintaining and even occasionally relaxing on her narrow boat.
The clinic is based in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire and is equipped with radiography, ultrasound, an in house laboratory for exotic species and an operating theatre.
In 2025 we expanded the clinic to develop two new, large hospital wards to provide specialist housing for a huge range of different exotic and zoo species.
