Seven former Deans of Manchester School of Dentistry recently gathered to attend a dinner in honour of the retirement of Mrs Sue Hillman. Employed at the School for 38 years, Mrs Hillman was originally appointed to the post of Assistant to the Dean by Professor J Moore. She has since worked with nine Deans, with her most recent role being Executive Assistant to the Head of School. She retired at the end of 2005.
