What our clients say:
"We have recently completed the sale of our two large dental practices to a national corporate through Alison Oliver. The nature of the practices meant that there was a lot to consider, but Ward Hadaway provided an excellent service throughout and took a lot of the pressure off us as sellers. They clearly have a lot of experience and knowledge in selling dental practices, and were able to anticipate and prevent potential pitfalls. The sale completed smoothly on time, largely due to the close personal attention given by Alison Oliver throughout. Any queries were replied to immediately, and I could not fault anything in the whole process from our solicitor’s point of view."
Paul Blaylock, Former Dental Practice Owner
"We cannot recommend Ward Hadaway more highly....All [members of the team] completed their various roles calmly and efficiently, being the friendly contact at the end of a phone or e-mail almost immediately whenever we needed help and advice. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other dentist who is contemplating the sale, or indeed purchase, of a dental practice."
Paul Winfield, Former Dental Practice Owner

GDPUK Ltd today announces the sale of its intellectual property assets to Cogora Group, one of the UK's leading publishers of healthcare brands, events and educational platforms.
The decision to sell GDPUK’s intellectual property forms part of a considered transition to ensure the long‑term stewardship and development of the brand and associated assets. Cogora brings a wealth of experience and expertise to support the continued evolution of the dentistry brand within its wide portfolio of market-leading healthcare publications. Its award-winning titles include Pulse, a long‑standing and widely recognised source of political news and clinical education for GPs, Nursing in Practice, Management in Practice, The Pharmacist, Pulse PCN and Healthcare Leader, as well as two secondary care publications – Hospital Healthcare Europe and Hospital Pharmacy Europe. The purchase will cement Cogora as the biggest publisher of primary care titles in the UK and allow it to bring its expertise in providing news, analysis, opinion and groundbreaking stories to GDPUK, as well as continue giving dentists and dental staff a voice through its website.
“After careful consideration, we believe that Cogora is well positioned to take GDPUK’s intellectual property forward,” said Tony Jacobs, founder, editor and publisher of GDPUK.com . “This transaction provides continuity for the professional community associated with GDPUK and creates opportunities for future growth under experienced ownership.”
Tony will continue involvement in GDPUK on a consulting basis.
GDPUK Ltd has worked to ensure an orderly transfer of the intellectual property and wishes Cogora every success in its future development.
