We are saddened to have to share the news that Paul Sharples passed away on the 17th March.
Paul graduated with Honours at Liverpool University in 1977. He was offered a position at Harrison & Partners in the Easter before graduation and began work later that year. Paul, along with Barry Dickens and Caerwyn Thomas established Daleside Vets in 1993, and worked hard to develop the business until his retirement in 2010. As well as a dedicated farm vet, Paul was responsible for the Meat Hygiene work at the practice. He had a nimble mind with figures, and no medicines company rep was safe when it came to negotiating a deal!
Away from the practice Paul was a keen football fan and closely followed the fortunes of his beloved Blackburn Rovers. He also enjoyed a good round of golf, and spending time with his family.
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to all his family.
