Although the UK has entered the worst recession on record, it’s not all doom and gloom. As we ease out of lockdown and attempt to find a sense of normality amidst the chaos, there are still some positive stories and developments.
Like many other companies, 2020 so far has been a challenging period for RMS. But having braved the storm, we are now looking to a bright horizon.
We are delighted to announce that we have recently secured a new client. It has enabled us to extend our reach to a sector previously unexplored by us, that of veterinary care.
IVC Evidensia
IVC Evidensia is Europe’s leading veterinary care provider based across 11 countries and employing 19,000 staff. Independent Vetcare started in 2011 with only 20 practices, and from the very beginning they understood that their biggest asset was their experienced people. In 2017 they combined with Evidensia, a veterinary group already established across Europe, and in 2019, following Nestle’s (owner of the Purina brand) purchase of a minority shareholding, the group unified under the name IVC Evidensia.
Aligned Values
With around 1,500 independent clinics in their estate across the UK and Europe, they care about the health and welfare of the pets and families they serve, with their core values “We care, we dare, we share” being at the heart of everything they do.
The core values of IVC Evidensia are aligned to our own. Like RMS, they understand that people are fundamental to the success of a business, and they also consider innovation to be important in a fast-paced world, it is with this in mind that they have embarked on a large scale project to reinvigorate the estate to look and feel cutting edge and to directly compete with any other pet care provider – it is as part of this project that RMS have partnered up with IVC Evidensia to support and deliver this innovation. The goal is to shape the services of their independent Vet Practices to meet the challenges of the future.
To see how we support IVC Evidensia in keeping those animals and owners happy, please take a look at our case study.
RMS is the country’s leading provider of retail services. Due to our focus on innovation, and nationwide workforce of skilled, flexible people, we are the partner of choice for some of the UK and Ireland’s best loved retail brands.
