MEET THE TEAM

Moon

Moon, once a Sai Kung stray, has been a cherished full-time on-site member of our Ferndale family for a whole decade. Adopted alongside a few friends who also found their way to us. Look at those soulful eyes!


Dr Matthew Murdoch
Veterinary Surgeon, Director

Matthew has been a vet in England and Hong Kong for over 20 years. He's an animal lover and started his professional career with  charitable animal work in many international areas including Africa, Spain, Greece, and Guatemala.  He has extensive experience in animal care and fully appreciates the anxieties felt by owners relocating with their pets. His compassion and care are second to none. There are many aspects of pet relocation, and dog and cat boarding, that benefit from a professional emphasis  on pet health and animal welfare. Your vet can do the health check and he can double check the paperwork.


Carmen Yick
Shipping Manager

Carmen came to us after closing her doggie cafe in 2010 in Wanchai to move to Sai Kung with her family. She has a wealth of experience and manages all aspects of the shipping process at Ferndale from the first contact and quote to the happy arrival of each pet in its new country, whether here in Hong Kong or elsewhere in the world. While away from the busy Ferndale office, Carmen enjoys spending time with her husband and young son, and their large four legged family of four dogs and a cat, as well as her love of cooking & cake decorating.

Alan is not only one of our frontline staff that is adored by everyone who meets him, two & four legs, he also ensures our fleet of vehicles are in top condition to transport all our VIP's! His calm demeanour pacifys even the most insecure traveler and makes their trip just that little bit easier. In his spare time he loves to spend time caring for his and our vehicles and driving around! He has been a driver and travel consultant with Ferndale since 2008.

Cindy Ma

Cindy is our new joined member in 2019. She has extensive experience in administrative and document processing.

Cindy has lived with animals since she was a child. She loves animals so much, that’s why she moved to Sai Kung. Every holiday, she takes her dogs to different dog parks and let them make new friends.


Christy Look
Pet Travel Customer Consultant

Christy is outgoing and likes to go out with her friends during holiday. But ever since her family decided to live in Sai Kung to foster a dog - Dic Dic, she enjoys staying at home, and goes to the dog parks on holidays has become one of her family activities. Dic Dic strengthens the bonding between her family.

Christy wanted to get involved in the animal industry, so she joined the pet relocation industry which is also related to her tourism and airline background.
