After more than two incredible years at PortmanDentex, it’s time for me to set out on a new path. The journey has been nothing short of transformative, and as I reflect on this chapter, I’m filled with gratitude and pride for what we’ve accomplished together. One of the most defining moments of my time here was navigating the largest merger in private dentistry between Portman and Dentex. This landmark integration brought together two exceptional organisations, creating a unified group with over 370 practices. It was a period of significant change, requiring strategic focus and collaboration to align cultures, systems, and goals while ensuring high standards of patient care. As CCO, I’ve had the privilege of leading numerous business-critical teams, from expanding the estate to ensuring a safe, compliant environment, and working alongside some of the most talented and dedicated individuals I’ve ever met. Together, we’ve navigated complex challenges, celebrated successes, and driven meaningful change. It’s the relationships I’ve built – founded on trust, collaboration, and shared goals – and the lessons we’ve learned as a team that will stay with me as I move forward. Beyond PortmanDentex, my advisory work with VidiVet and volunteering with Yorkshire 4x4 Response reminded me of the power of community, continuous learning, and pushing boundaries, both personal and professional. As I look ahead to 2025, I’m excited to explore new opportunities where I can drive strategic, tech-enabled innovation, mentor emerging leaders, and navigate uncharted terrain. The intersection of technology and leadership offers enormous potential to transform industries and deliver meaningful change, and I’m eager to be part of that journey. The most rewarding paths are those that challenge and reshape us, and I can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner. To my colleagues, mentors, and friends: thank you for your trust, collaboration, and shared vision. Let’s stay connected – the path forward is always brighter when walked together. Here’s to new horizons and the lessons we carry with us!
