Getting teeth into business
December 26th, 2009
TOWNSVILLE dentist Daryl Holmes is a man on a mission.
The managing director of listed dental management group 1300 Smiles Ltd has capped off another successful year, managing to grow the business he founded exponentially despite the woes of the wider economy and he is quietly confident about setting his sights for further growth.
Fortunately for us, he is a committed North Queenslander with a passion for ensuring as much of the wealth that is created here stays here.
Excerpt: The company also delivered while growing rapidly.
It now has 17 multi-dentist facilities in centres throughout Queensland and northern NSW with a new practice to open in the medical precinct of a shopping centre in Carseldine, Brisbane, in January.
Dr Holmes said the business was run mostly with old-fashioned virtues.
