Prior to joining the ADI in 2013, Tim was chief executive at the Healthcare Infection Society, general secretary at the British Institute of Radiology, and worked in publishing with a focus on medical journals.
Tim completed a degree and PhD in Chemistry and gained a masters in Voluntary Administration from London South Bank University, a course type tailored to the charity sector.
Zaki Kanaan, president of the ADI, said, "Tim was the backbone of the ADI and the person who the board looked to for advice when it was needed. He was the person that kept the ADI's wheels in motion and helped the ADI become the organisation it is today. A gentleman in every sense of the word, that will be missed by all at the ADI. My thoughts go out to his friends and family at this time."
During his 10 years as ADI executive director, Tim helped to take the organisation from strength to strength, building on events such as the ADI Team Congress and Study Clubs, whilst also improving services for its members. The ADI has said it is immensely grateful for Tim’s contributions, and his dedication to developing the association for the benefit of its members and the wider dental implant profession.
Abid Faqir, past president, said, “I am so sad to hear of the passing of Tim – his family and friends are very much in my thoughts at this difficult time. Tim loved the ADI and everything it embodied; he was amazing during my tenure as president. His help, advice and constant meticulous planning took the association from strength to strength. Work aside, he was a gentleman, a kind and helpful man. He will be sadly missed by all.”
Tim had a passion for classical music and played the violin in a local orchestra. He had an excellent sense of humour with favourites including Woody Allen, The Office, and Mr Bean.
Tim leaves behind his wife Tracey, his daughter Catherine, and his son Daniel. The ADI has extended its condolences to his family at this difficult time.
