title: A view from the bodies corporate. 5. Integrated dental holdings plc. Interview by F. Stuart-Wilson.
abstract: My interview with David Hudaly, Chief Executive of IDH plc took place at their unassuming head office in Bolton. I make the mistake of assuming, like many, that IDH's operations are based mainly in the North. David Hudaly puts me right fairly early on in our interview. In fact IDH is not one, but two bodies corporate now with 146 practices across the UK, and incorporating the Whitecross and Petrie Tucker chains (although some of the Whitecross units have recently been sold). The business structure appears at first sight to be more complex than the other corporates I have encountered in this series; IDH floated in February 2002 and is now a plc.
