Darlington dentist acquires ownership of practice

Darlington-based entrepreneur Anitha Bangura has bought her own dental practice, following assistance from the Darlington Building Society.

Anitha acquired ownership of the Springs Dental Practice based in Darlington after Darlington Building Society provided the Commercial Mortgage needed to purchase the building on Yarm Road.

Anitha qualified as a dentist in India in 2001 and moved to the UK in 2002.

She then gained valuable skills and experience working in management roles in both NHS and private practices before taking the plunge and buying her own surgery.

Darlington Building Society works with both owner occupied businesses, ranging from local solicitors and hairdressers to restaurants and guest houses, and commercial investments working mainly with customers in the North East of England, Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

All applications are looked at individually by the dedicated commercial team, with the product suited to the needs of the business.

Owner of Springs Dental Studio, Anitha Bangaru, said: “I would like to thank Darlington Building Society for providing me with the commercial mortgage which enabled me to purchase the dental practice, Springs Dental Studio in Darlington.

“I am grateful for the professional assistance from the Commercial Manager Phil Taylor.

“I was very pleased with the courteous, knowledgeable and expedient service I received from Phil and appreciate the promptness, kindness and business knowledge that he showed.

“I would recommend Darlington Building Society to anyone without any reservation and thank them so much for what really feels like a personal service and making my dream come to reality”

Commercial manager at Darlington Building Society, Phil Taylor, said: “Darlington Building Society provides mortgages to a variety of businesses in the North East of England & Cumbria.’’

“It was a real pleasure to work with Anitha and help make her long-held ambition to own her own dental practice become a reality.”
