Steve Gates to step down as managing director of Denplan

During his long career, Steve has been instrumental in building Denplan into the leading payment plan provider in the UK, among both dentists and vets. Simplyhealth would like to thank Steve for his hard work and commitment over the years and, in particular, his leadership of the business since it was acquired by Simplyhealth.

Following Steve’s departure, Caroline Coleman will now lead our dental and vets business. From her current position leading the vets business, Caroline has a deep knowledge of healthcare professionals and we believe she is well equipped to lead the business into the next phase of its development.

Romana Abdin, chief executive of Simplyhealth, said: “We have an ambition to be the first people to turn to for extra help with everyday health. For our healthcare professionals this means helping them to have a more fulfilled professional life and a more successful business life, recognising what’s important to them and creating value for their patients and their lives.
