Global 4 Named Exclusive Managed Service Provider Partner for the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA).
Global 4 has been appointed as the exclusive Managed Service Provider (MSP) partner to the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA), reinforcing its long-standing commitment to supporting the UK dental sector with secure, reliable and future-ready technology solutions.
Under the partnership, Global 4 will provide BDIA members with access to specialist Managed IT Services, cyber security, cloud solutions, connectivity and business telephony services designed specifically for BDIA member organisations.
The British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) is the UK trade association representing and supporting manufacturers and suppliers of dental products, services and technologies. Its members provide high-quality products and services to dental professionals and practices across the country. The appointment of Global 4 as its exclusive Managed Service Provider partner reflects a shared focus on strengthening operational resilience and supporting members through an evolving digital landscape.
Strengthening Technology and Communications Across the Dental Sector
Modern dental practices rely heavily on digital infrastructure. From patient record systems and digital imaging to appointment scheduling, cloud platforms and unified communications, technology underpins both clinical delivery and operational efficiency.
At the same time, the sector faces increasing pressures around cyber security, data protection and system reliability. The handling of sensitive patient information brings clear regulatory responsibilities, while growing cyber threats present an ongoing risk to business continuity.
Global 4 brings extensive experience working within the dental market, supporting practices and dental organisations across the UK with proactive Managed IT Services and secure communications infrastructure. The company’s expertise spans infrastructure management, cyber security oversight, Microsoft cloud solutions, connectivity and resilient telephony systems designed to ensure uninterrupted patient communication.
Tommy Dixon, Global 4, said:
“I am extremely proud that Global 4 has been appointed as the exclusive managed service partner for BDIA members. The BDIA is a longstanding and vital institution within UK dentistry, and this partnership reflects not only the trust placed in us, but also the significant progress we have made in recent years through strategic collaborations across the dental sector.
Our work with DSO groups has demonstrated just how transformative the right approach to communications, cyber security, and technology strategy can be for modern dental organisations. This new partnership marks an important milestone in strengthening our connection to the wider dental industry. While our primary focus remains supporting DSO leaders in building resilient and scalable digital infrastructures, I am equally proud that we can now extend our expertise to fellow suppliers who play such a crucial role in supporting the profession.
Together with the BDIA, we look forward to raising standards, strengthening the industry’s digital foundations, and helping members deliver even greater value to the practices and clinicians they serve.
Supporting a Secure and Digital Future for Dentistry
As the dental industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the need for secure, scalable and resilient IT infrastructure has never been greater. Cloud adoption, connected systems and integrated communications are becoming standard across practices, increasing both opportunity and complexity.
Through this partnership, Global 4 will work closely with BDIA members to strengthen cyber resilience, ensure compliance with data protection standards, modernise telephony platforms and deliver proactive support designed to reduce risk and downtime.
The appointment further strengthens Global 4’s position as a trusted Managed Service Provider within regulated and technology-dependent sectors across the UK.
Mark Hyde, BDIA, commented:
“The BDIA is committed to delivering meaningful value to our members through trusted partnerships. Technology is now central to the way dental businesses operate, and our members need partners they can rely on. Global 4’s proven experience in the dental sector and their expertise across Managed IT, cyber security and telephony made them the clear choice as our exclusive Managed Service Provider partner.”
