Key People at Dore
Name:
Wynford N Dore
Job Title:
Chairman and founder of Dore.
Biography
In 2000 he established the first treatment centre in the UK. The Dore treatment centres were inspired by Wynford’s determination to find a solution for his daughter Susie, who was severely affected by Dyslexia. Now he is driven by the need to change the way learning difficulties are approached so that Dore can help all those affected by learning difficulties. Wynford has commissioned extensive research in the field of neuroscience that has led his team to conclude that an under-developed cerebellum is a root cause of many learning difficulties.
From 1974 to 1998, Wynford founded and was the Chairman of Nullifire Limited, a UK-based company that pioneered the development of fire protection products. In 1999 he launched Education Development International plc, a successful public company that provides on-line assessments for schools, vocational entities and professional organisations.
