The Dental Directory Always evolving to give you the best service | ||
 The Dental Directory began trading nearly forty years ago now, not in its current form of today but on a much smaller modest scale. Founded by Gordon Mills in the heart of Essex with just two employees the company started its journey into the dental consumables market.Almost four decades on and the company still remains wholly british, independent and owned by the same family, yet has grown into a vast impressive operation. For despite its humble roots, The Dental Directory has never stood still but always strived ahead, continuously developing and advancing to provide a first class service to front line dentistry. Now with over 300 employees, head quarters in Witham, Essex and four other UK sites, The Dental  Directory is the market leader with around a50% share of the current consumables market. Expansion Investment For sure, The Dental Directory is a success story but rather than remain satisfied with market domination, and an impressive 99 percent order reliability record, The Dental Directory still aims for perfection and ultimately to provide the very best service to you. Despite the organisation’s already ultra-modern, high-tech, 100,000-square foot warehouse facility in Witham, a result of an original investment of more than £5 million, The Dental Directory is currently in the process of expanding its order-picking locations by a further 20,000 square feet, with an additional 20,000-square foot facility for bulk storage and dispatch coming on-stream in the next few months. The  se new facilities represent a further investment by The Dental Directory of more than £2 million. The warehouses extra capacity is necessary to cope with the ever advancing lines of dentistry consumables and to bring you the very latest products from the market. The warehousing facility is a streamlined operation. Orders taken are automatically transferred to the Warehouse Order Start Department for assembly and despatch. A special volumetrics program ensures that cartons are the perfect size for the contents. The highly sophisticated proprietary automated warehouse pick cycle process incorporates revolutionary digitised armbands to assist personnel. After a thorough packaging inspection, cartons are automatically sealed and labelled. Six Citylink staff are permanently on-site to maximise the efficiency of the Dental Directory/Citylink delivery interface. It is a true demonstration of The Dental Directory’s obsession to get your order correct, picked, packed and delivered on time. Today The Dental Directory offers much more than your daily consumables. The product range includes specialist areas including orthodontics, oral hygiene and facial aesthetics.
