At IMS, we take pride in our product knowledge. So, it’s only fitting that we introduce this week’s RVN: Lyndsay – one of our dedicated IMS Product Specialists. Lyndsay’s role involves analysing the features, functions, and benefits of our products, identifying opportunities for improvement, and supporting product development.
Whilst she’s still new to IMS, her insights are proving invaluable in helping other departments maintain a strong and consistent understanding of our products.
A fun fact about Lyndsay: She once worked in South Africa on a Game Reserve, where she was involved in conservation efforts and lion patrols. Her work included collaborating with local farmers to prevent lions from hunting too much game by providing other sources of meat to the lions. She likened feeding the lions to watching cats chase tail teasers.
A wild experience, quite literally!

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing you to our wonderful trio of RVNs, who bring a wealth of knowledge about practice life to IMS.
First up is Sarah, one of our Key Account Managers with over 10 years in the veterinary industry. Sarah joined IMS 2 years ago in the search for a new challenge.
What she loves at IMS: ‘I love meeting with the practices and discussing the different products available and where they can make overall savings without compromising on quality. I also enjoy providing Lunch & Learn sessions where we can go in-depth on specific product ranges and demonstrating where key products are best used.’
A fun fact about Sarah: A picture is worth a thousand words - so it’ll come as no surprise that Sarah is ‘the biggest Disney fan you will meet’ and also a former Disney cast member!

How Our Feline Friend Cut The Vet’s Consumables Spend
IMS Euro is a family based business set up in 1992 to sell to the Healthcare Sector in countries outside the UK. A visit to a local veterinary surgery with the family cat (Milow) in 2004 opened up a complete new opportunity for the company. Upon seeing the products used by the surgery, a conversation soon developed around the quality of the consumables, the range used and the prices of the various items.
Taking this further it quickly became apparent that the veterinary industry used many similar products to the human healthcare industry, however, with a marked difference in the cost of the items. A large and exciting new market was available to IMS Euro in the UK veterinary market for the virtually identical non-pharmaceutical medical consumables already being supplied by IMS Euro to governments and hospitals in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
This was a whole new way of working for IMS Euro, far from the world of export tendering. The new distribution centre in south Manchester was opened and very quickly drew the attention of local independent surgeries. Within months of the launch, IMS Euro progressed to supplying some of the better-known corporate veterinary groups and charities.
In addition, IMS Euro could offer savings of around 30 - 50% when compared to other UK veterinary wholesalers. After two years of thorough market analysis, assessing competition, trials with potential customers, product testing and consulting with our exclusive manufacturers, IMS Euro launched this new and exciting venture.
We must pay tribute to Milow, the family cat for 20 years, because without his regular veterinary check-up this remarkable business may never have been conceived.
IMS Euro has developed rapidly, adding new independent surgeries, groups and national chains on a regular basis. Many of our new customers call us after being contacted by veterinary colleagues, delighted by our service.
We are unique, and proud of our achievements, placing enormous emphasis on customer care, and the personal touch, ensuring each customer is treated as if they were our only customer.
A remarkable success story built on a routine visit to the vets with the family cat.
