Felicia joined us in 2019 with a wealth of experience gained from running her own business back in Zimbabwe. She really enjoys gardening and being involved in youth work, she is married to Steve and their 2 daughters are doctors in Johannesburg.
Bo joined the team two years ago as the practice guard dog and as you can see she must've interviewed well as she doesn't look like a typical candidate. Her favourite things are receiving loads of fuss and tap-dancing.
