Meet the Team

Suvanne Southgate

HCPC registered 

I have been a qualified podiatrist for 24+ years. I graduated from Northampton School of Podiatry in 2000 with an upper 2:1 degree following a successful 11 year career in the RAF. These days I am a keen golfer (time permitting) but previously I enjoyed playing hockey to a high standard, playing National League Indoor Hockey and RAF, Combined Services Hockey and ran the London Marathon in 2005.  I enjoyed most sports and this provided the basis for my interest in biomechanics. I completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Podiatric Biomechanics from Stafford University in 2003.

I have worked in both the NHS and a multi-disciplinary practice specialising in biomechanics. I was also the Podiatrist to Ipswich Town Football Club for 8 years. I am now in private practice in Cambridge. I worked in the NHS as a Wound Care Specialist for 7 years in a part time capacity for the North East London Foundation Trust. 

I am a member of the College of Podiatry and registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), our professional body which ensures standards are met and also that we have maintained a programme of Continued Professional Development (CPD). 

Iván Maestre-Moreno

HCPC registered

* Born and raised in Alicante, Spain. I come from an area where the main economical activity has been footwear and handbags manufacturing industry.

* I am HCPC registered podiatrist and I have been working as a podiatrist in the UK since 2017.

* 16 years experience in private practice, I graduated in Podiatry in 2008. 2 years later, I earned a Master’s in Surgical and Clinical Research by Universidad Miguel Hernández.

* Humanistic professional, I would describe myself as a resilient, empathetic, intuitive and supportive person, blessed with listening skills. I am very interested in human mind psychology and emotional intelligence

* Family and social time. I try to keep a balance between working and leisure, prioritising familiar and social life. Meeting with my family and friends and cooking for them is very precious for me.

* I personally think marketing is really important to achieve customers flow. But the most important thing is making my patients feel comfortable and trying to offer them an exceptional podiatric experience. Then, the word of mouth will boost everything

* I adore simple things. As I like saying, I will not be rich in money, but I will be prosperous in life experiences

Morgane De Salvage

Jon Southgate

Practice Manager

Jon has had a privileged career to date. Originally cabinet maker trained, he went on to run his own business, including antique restoration. Alongside this he became a part-time firefighter in Ipswich for 2 ½ years. This led Jon to join Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service full-time in 1988, where he enjoyed a 30-year career. By the time of his retirement in 2018, he was Deputy Divisional Commander responsible for around 120 staff across 6 fire stations.

Jon then became a Quality Assurance inspector of providers of Special Educational needs for Suffolk children and young people, which was incredibly rewarding. He then took on the role of the Business Continuity Manager for Suffolk County Council, just as the UK went into lockdown. So, this was an unprecedented time to look after the residents of Suffolk.

Jon is a keen motorcyclist, having competed in motocross in his younger days and he is planning a return to the track in 2024. He loves all things DIY, history, walking, golf, cooking, and eating good food too!

Jon volunteers for Suffolk Lowland Search & Rescue – searching for missing vulnerable people across Suffolk at any time of the day or night and also teaches motorcycle safety courses for Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service.

Jon is proud to be the husband of Suvanne, the owner and senior podiatrist at Cutting Edge Podiatry as Practice Manager. He is also undertaking his Foot Health Practitioner diploma, so he will be able to help out with routine foot care at the clinic. He looks forward to meeting you one day.
