Dental practice targets healthy growth

Edlington Dental Practice, which is located on the outskirts of Doncaster, was partly acquired by local dentists Mo Sheikh and Andrew Harrison at the beginning of this year after former dentist and co-owner, Ian Kellam, retired.

The pair, who formed Edlington Care Ltd, to invest in the practice, now own two thirds of the business with a third partner owning the remaining 33 per cent. Since Mo and Andrew took over, the practice has invested in new software to improve the management of appointments and is working with local schools and midwives to introduce preventative education.

They have also added a new surgery and plan to appoint two new full time dentists by September 2016.

Although Mo and Andrew already operate their own practices, Edlington is their first joint venture. Their investment in the business was supported by Yorkshire Bank’s South Yorkshire Customer Banking Centre, with the deal delivered by relationship manager, Richard Boor.
