VETERINARY teams working in practices in the North-East have helped to earn their group a prestigious award recognising a magazine circulated in-house.

The White House Cross Vets group, which has practices in Redcar and Coulby Newham, issues its 44-page Connected magazine twice a year.

At the Institute of Internal Communication’s annual awards, Connect won the Success on a Shoestring category.

Justin Phillips, White Cross Vets’ head of marketing, said: “Since we launched the magazine six years ago, it has evolved into a valuable communications tool that keeps our fast-growing team up to date with everything that’s happening within White Cross Vets and across the veterinary industry as a whole.”
