Swallow Dental Supplies Ltd was established in 1998 and has seen much development since that time. Originally run single handed by Dr Paul Harrison, and selling just the Fortoss range of Bone Augmentation products that he helped to develop, Swallow now employs eight full time members of staff.

Whilst the Fortoss products, particularly VITAL, are still a mainstay of the company we also offer the wonderful PDT Periodontal Instruments and the innovative Stoma Surgical Instruments, and Scorpion Ultrasonic Scaling Tips with visual wear indicator. We are also ever expanding our range of surgical drapes and consumables. All products that Swallow offer fit in with our company ethos to supply only high quality products at reasonable prices, supported by un-rivalled customer service and product knowledge. We are the specialists in the Implantology and Periodontal surgery, and as such we distribute many of our products to other suppliers in both the UK and Europe.

The Team:

Our dedicated office team include:

Paul Harrison has worked in the field of biomaterials development since the 1980's. he is an experienced lecturer and as well as running Swallow he currently helps a number of implant companies on their training courses. He also lectures on the subject of biomaterials on an international basis. In his free time (of which there seems to be very little) he enjoys running, hopping and skipping when he isn't spending time sailing or taking apart his vintage motorbike.

Vicki Nunns has worked with Swallow since 2000 and specialises in Marketing as well as having extensive product knowledge. Vicki specialises in the PDT product range. Vicki enjoys running and cooking in her free time (though not at the same time). She is available for demonstrations in the Yorkshire region, tel 01535 656 312. .

Christine Pedersen has been part of the team since 2003. Christine is in charge of the accounts and has an extensive product knowledge. Hopefully by the end of 2009 Christine will have passed her AAT diploma in between making all the soup and smoothies she can.

Debbie Harrison joined us part-time in 2003 when a dedicated person was needed for our stock control. Now in 2009 her role has progressed to looking after Human Resources and Regulatory Affairs. When Debbie isn't busy keeping the house of Swallow in order, she enjoys painting people and playing tunes on the paino.

Carolyn Wilkinson joined our team in 2007 to help with our sales and marketing efforts. With 4 years previous dental experience Carolyn is now our specialist in Vital and Stoma, as well as having extensive knowledge on our full product range. Outside office hours Carolyn can often be found playing tennis or socialising with friends.

Ben Harrison joined the family empire in 2007 to take over from the previous stock controller. He now looks after computer maintainance within the office and offers a helping hand to the marketing department when needed. Ben spends most of his free time sitting, slouching and staring. When not doing any of the afore mentioned he is normally found socialising with friends.

Andrew Featherstone is another who joined the swelling army of swallow dental supplies in 2007. He currently looks after stock and makes sure all the parcels go out our door looking as wonderful as possible. During his time off he enjoys going mountain biking around Yorkshire and watching films.

Becky Jacques is the latest installment to the Swallow team, joining in 2008. She currently helps out with the marketing of our Premier product range and generally finds postive ways to keep herself out of trouble. Becky enjoys going to the gym and buying clothes.
