Sandra Sampson Biography

Sandra began her career in the Veterinary arena in 1982 where she quickly realised she had a keen interest in developing people. This led her to take up a lecturing role at Bicton College of Agriculture where she was promoted to becoming the first female Head of Department. During this role Sandra underwent an RSA qualification in Counselling Skills in order to better support young people in her care.

Following a career break to have her three children, Sandra retrained and set up her own business in wellbeing, driven again by her desire and passion to develop individuals.

She returned to the veterinary world joining a global commercial poultry practice based in the South West, where she ran their pharmacy, importing and exporting medication. She also headed up the organisation’s marketing activities and was pivotal in developing new businesses and product lines. In 2013, Sandra joined her husband Phil and became a Director in Sampson Hall.
