Meet our Practice Manager and Reception Team

Alison MeredithPractice Manager

Alison has been with practice since 2002, first as a receptionist and now as our practice manager. Alison works very hard mainly behind the scenes organising the day to day running of the practice and working with Jo moving the practice forward with a planned programme of improvements.

She was essentially project manager during our major refurbishments in 2009 and for a few months it wasn’t uncommon to see Alison at the practice at 6.00 in the morning, 10.00 in the evening and over many weekends organising painters and plasterers, electricians and plumbers making sure that in the end, we got the result we all hoped for. Thank you, Alison!

Alison has a background in sales and marketing. She lives locally and has two sons who have now left home. She enjoys comedy, good food and wine, cooking, gardening, the countryside and looking after her son’s spaniel Reggie!
