“ Having worked in Dentistry for 20 years I always had a desire to get into the sales side of dentistry.
I have only been with the company for the past 5 months, but I have already changed from a business consultant role into looking after national accounts.
What I love about being part of the DD family is the opportunity for growth along with the colleagues who have been so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming making me feel part of an dedicated team.

“ I joined DD as a warehouse supervisor at the beginning of 2012. Over the next couple of years, I sought out opportunities to assist with writing company standard operating procedures which gave me a good understanding on what each department did. I was well supported by my manager and was promoted into the role of Health and Safety manager in 2016. I have been provided with extensive training and guidance from a range of colleagues at different levels which has allowed me to continue progressing in the role I’m in. ”

I then went to work for NEAS and Newcastle College as a Dental Tutor, in which I became a qualified Assessor, Internal Verifier and gained my Teaching Degree.
In August 2013 I started working for Dental Directory as a Practice Support Manager/Trainer, and I am still here to date. Throughout my time with DD have gained extra qualifications such as IOSH, NEBOSH, British Fire Safety Standards, and continuing professional development.
I cover a vast area from North East, North West (Cumbria) and the whole of Scotland. I love going to all of my practices delivering different courses such as BLS/AED/ME to Infection Control, and also completing Risk Assessments for Health and Safety and Fire.
What I love about being part of the DD family is all of my colleagues from Trainers, IT Department, Engineers to Sales staff are so knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming making me feel part of a dedicated team.

“I’ve been working for DD since February 2021 and it was my first job after 12 years in the Army, I was quite anxious about starting civilian life, and DD have supported me through my transition in every way. In the Army I was just ‘a number’ but with DD it’s so personnel, I’m known throughout my hierarchy personally, and feel I can pick up the phone to any of my line managers at any time with any problem. I love the flexibility of DD and my role, and DD’s ethos, we are a professional business but with that personnel touch. I also enjoy the variety of the job; no day is the same and I still wake up looking forward to starting my working day. I’m excited to see what the future brings with DD and feel proud to be a part of it. ”
— Dean Leake (Senior QA engineer)
“In my time at DD so far I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of learning new engineering skills & applying my previous skills to a whole new industry. I have had the opportunity to work with many great people who have helped me settle into the business, helped me where I need it & make my day-to-day role enjoyable. I know there is always help available to me when I need it & the other engineers support has been brilliant, this has taken a lot of pressure off myself & has really helped me adapt to the role & feel comfortable. I look forward to continuing to develop my skills & my future at DD.”
— Nathan Bray (Field service engineer)
“When I first started, I worked within the telesales team in the Stirling office as a service sales administrator. I was more behind the scenes dealing with the contract / consumable side of the business for our customers. Aug 2021, I moved department and started my new role as service scheduler. In this role I am predominantly dealing with the customers and engineers. I love the variety of this role and building relationships inside and outside the company, working together as a team to get tasks done and have successful outcomes. I can say my time here at DD so far has been enjoyable and I have learned a lot about the industry.”
— Caitlyn Cairns (service scheduler)
“What makes this job enjoyable is the people, over a short period of time you build a relationship with the co-workers around you and the engineers over the phone. We all help one another with any issues we're having in and out of work. Another thing that makes the company enjoyable is that no two days are the same every day comes with a different problem to solve so there is no time to be bored. ”
— Morgan MacLeod (Service scheduler)
