Sam Coates
Business Manager

I have worked part-time at Comber Dental Practice since 2007 as the Business Manager. This followed a banking career at Northern/Danske Bank of 33 years having managed several large branches of the bank.

I really enjoy watching most sports, especially rugby and football and still get a weekly game of squash and golf to keep me active.
