Capita-owned National Dental Plan has announced Andrew Bower as its new managing director.
Capita acquired corporate dental plan provider National Dental Plan in August 2010 and Bower is tasked with establishing its business for the future.
Bower has worked at Capita since 2003, holding a number of senior positions with Capita Consulting and Capita Insurance Services. He has worked in the financial services market for over 20 years, including Norwich Union and Winchester White Management Consultants.
One of Bower's first tasks will be to launch a scheme for Capita's 36,000 employees in March 2011. The scheme enables all employees to take up a dental plan if they wish.
Andrew says: "National Dental Plan is about more than providing dental cover. It offers a cost-saving solution in a tough economic climate which can help take patients' worry out of dental charges, as well as promoting good dental health which can help employers across the UK to reduce absenteeism."
