I had the pleasure of working with Rachel during my term as the owner and Principal Periodontist in Northumberland Institute of Medicine. Rachel brought to the practice a wealth of experience and clarity of what it takes to run a successful practice that benefits patients and the owners. Her work ethic, high standards and energy were refreshing for the staff and by listening to them she ensured they developed, whilst developing their potential. Her ability to work under pressure stood to us all. Her positivity, likeability and optimism ensured that we worked as a team to always find solutions in the ever-challenging task of running a practice. Her ability to look at the big picture but staying focussed on the detail ensures that success by providing direction and setting priorities and methodically reaching the end game.

Rachel was a key member of our management team for many years and it was apparent early on that she had leadership qualities. She is highly motivated, driven, reliable and a very likeable individual. Her blend of knowledge, passion, integrity and hard work enabled her to lead teams to achieve their full potential. Her communication style is honest and easy to understand using her commercial experience from her many years in healthcare. I highly recommend Rachel as she will bring a focus, knowledge and build strong relationships that enable her to deliver optimum solutions for her clients.

I had the pleasure to work with Rachel as a colleague and later as my Sales Manager in Medical Devices. Rachel possesses many attributes, namely her attention to detail, people management skills, focus on delivery of product/service under her responsibility. I thoroughly enjoyed our working relationship and Rachel was extremely conscious of the personal development and growth of the team I was part of. Rachel always led by example in her Sales Management role from customer engagement, strategic focus & creating a positive culture within the team. I know I certainly enjoyed our field visits to customers and the friendship we have subsequently maintained. Rachel is an extremely caring individual and someone I would highly recommend as I am in no doubt she will continue to succeed through her drive, willingness, dedication and positive attitude

I have known Rachel professionally for the last 6 years and during this time the Shields group has grown from one dental business to a group of 5 dental businesses. Rachel has been involved in the capacity of an advisor bi-annually where she has assessed all of our operational processes along with strategy.

I can't recommend Rachel highly enough as she is very professional, astute, a great people person, intelligent, a good listener and has great common sense. She would be valuable to any business in the medical/dental field who is looking to grow or make their business efficient and effective.
