About Us
Where it all began…
Jenny & Jim Renshaw
Scotson Fold Pet Care Centre as we know it today was established in December 1987 by Jenny & Jim Renshaw. Jenny & Jim have been involved in business since 1968. When Jenny and Jim became the proud owners of the derelict farm of Scotson Fold, they began the restoration of the cottage, nine kennels and cat chalets that originally stood. In 1987 Jenny and Jim began a new era of Scotson Fold Pet Care Centre, after years of searching for somewhere suitable for their own pets, they were determined to create a safe, caring and comfortable environment for all pets in their care. During the first 6 months Jim would exercise the pets before leaving for work while Jenny would take care of the pets and take on the reception duties for the rest of the day until they began to employ their first members of staff. Jim sold his own company in 1996 to join Jenny in having a more active role in the running of Scotson Fold. Due to the growing popularity, more staff have been employed to ensure the high standards of Scotson Fold are maintained, and that the highest level of care and attention is given to each and every pet.
