As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, we’ve been rolling out our new logos on our websites, over our social media, and at events such as London Vet Show. We thought it would therefore make sense to make a little announcement about this – after all everyone wants to see something new and shiny!

So, without further ado, say hello to our brand new branding.

You’ll be able to see all five of our different logos for each component part of the company, alongside the MerlinVet Group logo which is used when referring to all parts of the organisation.

So you’ve probably seen that Vetcel has now rebranded as MerlinVet-cel and is now part of MerlinVet Group. But what exactly does this mean for you? Well, we have recently undergone a merger whereby MerlinVet UK and Export joined with Vetcel. The merger has proved of benefit to Vetcel and Merlin’s respective clients, providing global support to independent veterinary practices at a time when they are under considerable corporate pressure. The merger has meant better support for non-corporate vet practices in the UK and across the EU, the Far East, and the rest of the world. We made the decision to update our branding so that there is consistency across the board.

If you’ve only previously been familiar with one part of the organisation, then have a look at a short description of each part of Merlin below, as well as a link through to each’s respective website to see if you would benefit from working with us!
