 The
Federation of the European Dental Industry mourns for
Dennis Carroll
who passed away after a short but terminal illness
on Wednesday 10th June in Scotland.
Dennis was a longtime reprensentative of the British
Dental Trade Association in the FIDE meetings and
member of the FIDE Executive Committee from 2001-2005.
He also was one of the founders of the ADDE-FIDE European
Dental Market Survey, which was published for the
first time in 2001. In the following years he promoted
this survey with wide commitment and conveyed this
economic survey at our annual press conference, for
the last time during the IDS in March 2009 in Cologne.
Dennis was a dedicated colleague and friend and also
a loyal and faithful representative of our Federation,
who promoted the interests of the dental industry
with fervour. We will remember him with thanks and
gratitude and what he achieved in his work for the
dental industry. In this difficult time of loss we
wish his partner Ms. Kath Payne and his family our
sympathy and God`s loving comfort and blessings.
