IDH Group is the UK’s only fully integrated dental services company, with annual sales of circa £600m and more than 7000 employees and associates. IDH functions through mydentist, which operates a network of 674 NHS funded and private pay dental practices across the UK; and Dental Directory, a dental services, wholesaling and supplies business. The group is passionate about providing good quality, affordable patient care and serves over 5 million patients each year. This reflects Tom’s values and beliefs in public service, the value of a mixed economy and the role of competition to deliver better public services. IDH is owned by Carlyle, whom acquired the group in 2011, and is part financed by a high yield bond with a significant number of bond holders. Consequently, the group runs its processes in line with the listed company corporate governance best practice; with results published each quarter, annual investor road shows and formal audit, remuneration, nomination and rink committees.
