An opportunity for somebody that you know?
Its time to start building the team at Newco (we don’t have a brand name yet – but assume that Newco is the Private Sector Division of IDH). There is an existing team of 2 Acquisitions Managers, whose responsibilities are currently within the NHS Division of the business. The company is now looking for 2 … Read the Rest
Finding a new accountant
The avid reader of this blog will know that my accountant for over 15 years, Nigel Bottomley, passed away in May this year – and left a gap in my life, not only of talented and caring advice but friendship as well. Replacing Nigel (if there can be such a thing) has been a challenge … Read the Rest
I’m back!
First real day back yesterday – and the continuation of an old tradition (self-fulfilling prophesy?) that I cannot sleep the night before my first day back at work after a holiday. Went to bed at 11.30 pm on Monday night, woke at 1.30 am Tuesday morning – not a bloody chance of getting back to … Read the Rest
Pack and go….
Sad man – its the morning I leave for Greece and here I am checking my blog posts for comments (thanks Justin – very funny). You recall my mention of the number 1 “must have” gadget in yesterday’s post – the flip video? My thanks to my old mate Guy Levine, who immediately contacted me … Read the Rest
OK – after the serious stuff….
I am preparing for a week in Greece and so perhaps can be forgiven for a more light-hearted approach to this, my last day at work. Just to prove that you can sell anything on the internet, the following caught my eye…… Please take a look – especially if you are going back-packing or attending … Read the Rest
The Dark Side beckons…..
I need to warn you that this could be my longest ever post – so put the kettle on, make a nice cuppa and read when you have a few minutes of peace available. Because its time to talk openly about my departure from Breathe Business to join the team at Integrated Dental Holdings – … Read the Rest
The hard sell in dentistry
Take a look at the web site for Celebrity Sexy Teeth. Its cheesy isn’t it? But wait for the really hard sell… Click on the star sign between the words “Celebrity” and “Sexy” on the banner headline. And see what happens…. Feel time running out? Feel as if your opportunity is slipping away? Feel as … Read the Rest
Dentists are not control freaks
But I have to admit that I’m going to treasure this photograph of James Hamill from Blueapple Dental in Belcoo, Northern Ireland. We were leaving the practice on Monday evening and he couldn’t resist making sure that the rubbish was well pressed down in the bin. Thanks to James, Sonya and all the team for … Read the Rest
Sanctuary…
I’m in Enniskillin, Northern Ireland and I’ve found world-class customer service, a location to die for and a 6-star hotel at reasonable prices. Check out Lough Erne Golf Resort here. Beautiful. Get here as soon as you can (and before the Nick Faldo golf course opens and the prices rocket). Since I arrived at 7.00pm … Read the Rest
Credit crunch? How hard is it for me to spend my money?
Its a simple enough request. I need some portrait photographs for professional use. Easy enough project – black and white with me in work clothes. First stop – Ultimate Photography in Penryn, a mile or so from where I live and so I call in Saturday morning on the way to Truro. Walking through the … Read the Rest
