Meet our Placement Liaison Team

Lisa Hardman

My name is Lisa Hardman and I joined the Placement Team at the College of Animal Welfare in 2023. I have previously worked in the Veterinary Industry and I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2017.

I have always had a keen interest in education and animal welfare, which brings me here at the College. My role is to source the placements for all the Middlesex University BSc students and Level 3 Diploma students which is incredibly rewarding.

I live in the West Midlands and in my spare time I enjoy getting out on country walks and fitting in coastal trips.

Yvonne Mallett

My name is Yvonne Mallett, and I joined the Placement Team at The College of Animal Welfare in 2025.

My background is working in Recruitment for the Life Sciences Industry, but I have always been interested in animal welfare, having been heavily involved in rescuing abandoned dogs and cats whilst living abroad. Here at the College, I source placements for the Royal Veterinary College FdSc Degree and the Level 3 Diploma students.

I now live in Leicestershire and have three rescue dogs myself which keep me very busy!
