Meet the team at Illume
Tim Rumney | Clinical Director
Tim combines roles: he’s a dentist as well as the practice owner, so he focuses not just on providing clients with high quality cosmetic and restorative dentistry, but also on developing the vision to see the practice constantly evolve and improve.
This is work for more than just one, though, and he’s proud to work with a great team of people. In his spare time, Tim plays sax in a big band and is building an eccentric 3-wheel kit car for fun.
Alison Rumney | Non-clinical Director
Alison’s main responsibility is to empower, motivate and develop the team, so making sure we provide the best possible customer service to all our clients. Her main passion is cooking, although she also enjoys travelling, practising her French and Italian, reading and listening to her husband and sons make music.
Anna Cowgill | Business Manager
Anna’s role at the practice is unique. Anna began as a Dental Nurse and is now qualified. This gives her a great understanding of the whole business. She is currently studying for a degree in Business Management and relishes the job of turning the practice’s vision into reality. Anna enjoys travelling, photography, skiing and sailing.
Sarah Moore | Associate Dentist
Sarah qualified in 2001 and brings extra skills to Illume having experience in both orthodontics and in providing anti-wrinkle facial aesthetic treatments. In her spare time Sarah enjoys snowboarding, skiing and mountain biking and is the proud owner of a private helicopter licence.
Adrian Jones | Associate Dentist
Adrian qualified in 1997 and since 2001 has worked in private practice. He has a special interest in endodontics – root canal therapy to most of us, is experienced in restoring implants and accredited to provide Invisalign® tooth straightening.
When not enjoying dentistry Adrian can usually be found outdoors; running, rock climbing or swimming with his children. He’s also a pretty handy guy to have in the kitchen and his love of food means he fits in really well with the rest of the team at Illume.
Agnes Gradon | Dental Hygienist
Agnes is a member of the BDHA and qualified 20 years ago. She relishes the sheer variety of clients we see, all of whom benefit from her gentle approach. Despite her wealth of clinical experience, Agnes approaches every client as an individual with feelings, not just a mouth to treat. She loves cooking and gardening.
Lesley Card| Dental Hygienist
Lesley qualified as a hygienist with the RAF in 1995 and has been working in Gloucestershire since 2000. The part she enjoys most about her role is dealing with nervous clients and turning around their preconceptions so they really look forward to coming to see her. Lesley has two goals: to run a marathon for Kidney Research UK and to own another motorbike one day!
Clare Pollard | Registered Dental Nurse and Practice Coordinator
Clare’s been with us since May 2008, both working and training. She’s studying for the National Certificate Exam for Dental Nurses and enjoying the challenge of learning new clinical skills. Clare also loves being a team member and interacting with our varied clients. She enjoys keep- fit and travelling, especially the Kenyan and South African safaris she’s been on.
Deborah Turner | Client Co-ordinator
Deborah’s is the first voice or face clients hear or see when they contact us. She loves this part of the job, as well as being part of our team, meeting new people and seeing how much better clients feel about themselves after their treatment. Deborah also enjoys DIY, gardening, eating out and shopping.
Edwina Hayes | Client Co-ordinator
Edwina feels a major part of her role is to make clients feel comfortable straight away. She congratulates the nervous on how well they’ve done just to phone and turn up, and she combines this ability to put people at their ease with a friendly efficiency. Edwina likes to travel, and also enjoys gardening, theatre, walking and eating.
Carley Warren | Registered Dental Nurse and Clinical Co-ordinator
Carley’s been nursing for over eight years and is a qualified patient care co-ordinator, which means she can give Oral Hygiene instruction as well as discuss in-depth treatment plans with clients. She loves the interaction with such a wide variety of clients and relishes the fun she has at work. Carley also enjoys Pilates, keeping fit and shopping.
Claire Fuorvito | Registered Dental Nurse and Implant Co-ordinator
Claire’s been a Registered Dental Nurse for 25 years and, as our Implant Co-ordinator, has six years’ Implantology experience. Because she has a caring nature and enjoys looking after clients personally as well as clinically, she gets a huge buzz from seeing a happy client leave after a course of treatment. Claire also enjoys swimming, gardening cooking, cycling, camping and spending time with her family.
Elaine Williams | Registered Dental Nurse
Elaine’s been qualified for four years, and her naturally friendly approach is perfect for all the interaction with clients her job entails; her main role is to provide nursing for our hygienist. Elaine enjoys taking her young family swimming and going to the gym.

She definitely belongs to the right tribe here as she is passionate about all things gastronomic and like most of us prefers dancing to gym membership!
