BRETT MARSHALL
DIRECTOR
Team Dental’s story began in 1997 when I opened a 7- day practice in Tauranga.
I was passionate about providing dental services that were easily accessed and affordable to everyone.
With good down to earth kiwi ingenuity, we found we could build up dental practices in an affordable manner and pass these savings onto our customers.
Since then, with my fabulous team, we have 7 practices throughout NZ. Our company is well structured, and our profits stay within NZ.
We offer career paths within our company and additionally the opportunity to have equity in our dental practices.
Nowadays I still enjoy practising dentistry to provide cover at our Tauranga branches leaving plenty of time to concentrate on growing the brand.
Outside of work I lead an active life, and enjoy running, swimming, surfing, fishing and hunting with my family.
