Clyde Munro Dental Group, which includes Paisley Orthodontics, has appointed Louise Reeves as its new chief executive.
She takes over from founder Jim Hall on 19th October. Her role will focus on strengthening the group’s existing network, investing in staff and practices, and improving access to dental care.
Louise joins from PortmanDentex, where she had been chief operating officer since 2023. She began her career as a dental nurse before progressing through senior operational leadership roles.
Jim will remain involved in the business as founder and a member of the board.
He founded Clyde Munro in 2015. The group has grown from seven practices to 65 across Scotland, stretching from Orkney to the Scottish Borders.
Its teams include around 300 dentists and 500 support staff, providing care to more than half a million patients each year.
Louise said: “Clyde Munro has built an incredibly strong business over the past decade, with a clear commitment to delivering high-quality dental care in communities across Scotland. I’m excited by the opportunity to build on those foundations and lead its next phase.
“Dentistry is changing quickly and I want Clyde Munro to be at the forefront of that change, recognised as the industry-leading dental group, embracing innovation, technology and new ways of working that improve the experience for our patients and our people.
“What particularly drew me to Clyde Munro is how deeply its values run through the organisation. Putting patients’ wellbeing first, supporting our colleagues and playing a positive role in our communities are fundamental to the business and values I’m committed to championing.
“I’m looking forward to working with Jim and our teams across Scotland to combine that strong sense of purpose with real ambition for the future and set the standard for what a modern dental group can be.”
Jim said: “When we created Clyde Munro in 2015, our ambition was to build a dental group that was proudly Scottish and could make a meaningful difference to dental care in communities across the country.
“To see that grow from seven practices to a group caring for more than half a million patients is something I am immensely proud of, and that achievement belongs to the many talented people who have been part of Clyde Munro over the past decade.
“Louise has exceptional experience of our sector and, importantly, understands practices, clinicians and the realities of delivering excellent patient care. She’s the ideal person to lead the business through its next chapter and I’m looking forward to supporting Louise and the team in this next exciting phase.”
Clyde Munro provides NHS and private dental care. The group has also invested in recruitment, training and technology, including its Advanced Dentistry and Clinical Skills Centre in Perth.
