Heather has over 30 years of business experience, specialising in the dental sector for a large proportion of that time. Prior to joining Goodman Grant in January 2017, she was director of a well-known dental and pharmacy sales broker, where she was responsible for the large specialist team and all practice valuations and sale transactions.

Heather’s reputation as an expert in the sector is accompanied by a passion for professional excellence, with each client benefitting from her extensive commercial experience and strong business acumen. Her unrivalled knowledge of practice valuation methodologies and the nuances of dental practice sale transactions comes from having valued over a thousand healthcare businesses. Her professional but friendly approach ensures that practice owners can confidently explore all options, safe in the knowledge that they will never be subjected to the usual pressure techniques when discussing exit strategies with mainstream agents.

Heather’s extensive dental business knowledge is not just based on theory. She works as a confidential advisor to practice owners on a day-to-day basis to maximise the profitability of their business and ultimate practice value. She sees “under the skin” of the operational and financial aspects of a practice and identifies not only strategic opportunities but easily implemented solutions. Her exceptional insight helps pinpoint the optimum timing for a successful and profitable sale, and informs her bespoke representation of practice owners during negotiations with potential buyers.
