NEW DAIRY LAWES

LONG TIME COMING

A businessman whose long and distinguished career on the world stage has included regular meetings with national and international heads of state, has joined British Lithium as a non-executive director.

Having established Newquay-based and family-run Legacy Properties in 2008, Peter Long is an active member of the Cornish business community. He is also a firm advocate of supporting companies with clear growth potential.

As CEO of TUI Travel PLC, Long played a leading role in creating TUI Group – the largest integrated leisure tourism business in the world with 64,000 staff and 30 million customers. Previous nonexecutive chairman and nonexecutive director roles include Rentokil Initial, RAC, Royal Mail and Countrywide.

He has also been president of the Family Holiday Association charity since 2013.

“I’m delighted to be joining British Lithium at such an exciting time in the company’s development,” he said.

Dr Mick Allen, a consultant and specialist in special care dentistry, has joined Bodmin-based Smile Together Dental CIC as clinical director for quality assurance and patient safety.

A prominent and influential figure in south Wales, Dr Allen has been dental adviser to Cardiff and Vale University Health Board since 2016 and has been seconded to the Welsh Government to help reform general dental services.

Smile Together is an employee-owned CIC tackling oral health inequality by investing its profits back into patient care and Cornish communities.

Dental director, Dr Jonathan Bouwer-Davis, said: “There are real challenges facing dentistry, both pre-Covid and in the wake of the pandemic, not just in Cornwall but across the whole country.

“A collaborative approach has to be the way forward, not least to share best practice and experience, and we’re therefore thrilled to have attracted a clinician of Mick’s calibre to support our work and join the board of Smile Together.
