Meet the team

Ella Snowball

CEO & Co-founder

I am the CEO and Co-Founder of Recruit4vets. After leaving Harrogate Ladies College I went onto study Biology at University. I turned my eyes to recruitment and still having an interest in medical science I focused on medical recruitment at The RSG Group and opened up their Leeds office supplying locum doctors to the NHS. I decided to take the risk and start my own medical recruitment company in 2002 supplying locum doctors to the NHS and locum medical staff to the MOD, in 2005 we moved into the veterinary sector and established Recruit4vets.

I joined Recruit4 in July 2014 as the administration support officer. In 2017 I was promoted to the Office Manager and provide a full range of support to the Management Team and the consultants within the business. I manage the day to day internal database requirements and support to the administration of the job boards. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family & friends. I love reading and watching TV & films, from Emmerdale through to supernatural. I have a great love for animals and currently have three gorgeous, yet quite mad cats.
