Living and Working at Energy Vets Taranaki with Veterinarian & Managing Director - Dr Greg Hall - pt 1/2 - ep.1024

Energy Vets Taranaki NZ | Culture Stories in Action (Part 1)

Most vets and nurses know within a few minutes whether a clinic feels like their kind of place — long before they ever see a job ad.

In this episode, Julie South is joined by Dr Greg Hall, Managing Director at Energy Vets in Taranaki, for a grounded conversation about what day-to-day veterinary life there actually looks like.

They talk about the work, the people, the pace, and the place — from small animal caseloads across two clinics, to after-hours, weekends, lifestyle, and living in a close-knit community.

This isn’t a recruitment pitch.
It’s a real conversation about whether you can picture yourself working there — with your kind of people, in your kind of clinic.

This is Part One of a two-part conversation with Energy Vets.
