Liam is always happy to help and goes to great lengths to ensure patient satisfaction and service. It is he who run the marketing over both sites and makes sure patients are always aware of what's going on in the practice.
He had no aspirations to become a dentist, in following the 'family profession' but instead attended Aberystwyth University where he obtained a degree in Agriculture and Business. He had originally wished to pursue a career in agronomy (crop science) but was recruited by his father for his new business utilising his business management rather than agricultural skills.
Liam now loves working within Narberth being pretty much in control of the day to day running of the practice.
