Ask Matt Brash age 37 born in Germany, what was the scariest moment in his career to date, and he will hesitate between a Polar bear waking from anesthetic during an operation or talking to three hundred parents and pupils at the local grammar school where he is the school governor. ‘At least I could do what the zoo keepers did, and run from the bear’ he reflects.

Matt trained at the Royal Vet School in London and worked in Winchester, before running a busy mixed animal practice in North Yorkshire with his partner Stuart.. He is also the resident Vet for Flamingo Land Zoo in Kirby Misperton, and specializes in exotics and avian work.   

He is married to his delightful wife Claire, who is also a vet specializing in racehorses, and they have three young sons, and a menagerie of household pets including Bees and three pet Sheep. For relaxation he is a avid vegetable grower and a D.I.Y expert, and  will proudly show visitors the extensions to the cottage and the children’s tree house fondly called Tenko by the family.

Matt first met Trude Mostue, the unforgettable blond from Norway, who took the TV by storm during the first showing of ‘Vets School’, when they did a series called ‘Vets To The Rescue’ and from there on his television career has gone from strength to strength.
