Liz Chislett-Milne

CEO/Founder

07736 877476

Liz founded the business in 2012 following her passion having served in the Royal Navy and then spent 20 years in the Defence Industry. Passion for dogs have long been in her family with her Aunty who was a multi award winning breeder of pure bred Otterhounds and long term Master of the Minkhounds. Liz gained her knowledge of nutrition through study and market research whilst trying to find out what was wrong with her own dogs. She soon realised there was something seriously wrong with the pet trade and its misleading approach to diet, and nutrition.  Grovely was born and she is proud to head up a team to have helped over a thousand dogs and cats over the years, live new lives under better education of their owners and their new diet.

He retired from the RN in December 2010 before moving into the Forklift Sales industry. It was during this time, he assisted Liz where he could as she created Grovely Pets. In November 2014, he made the move full time into Grovely Pets to help grow its empire. Now fully established in the business, he and Liz have achieved in opening 4 shops and have created a great team around them. Dave is always happy to chat and help you with any issues you may have.
