Remploy Healthcare Does It Again At The BHTA Mobility Awards

For the second consecutive year Remploy Healthcare has been presented with the top accolade in the Mobility category of the 2006 British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) Excellence Awards.

Following its success at the 2005 event, the company once again beat off strong competition from three other nominees to win the prestigious award that is voted for by a cross section of health professionals including clinicians, therapists, consultants and buyers.

Sponsored by Assistive Technologies magazine, the prestigious annual event recognises companies that have demonstrated consistently high levels of customer service and product innovation in the fields of mobility, rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics. Remploy Healthcare, which is currently the largest supplier of manual wheelchairs to the NHS, was praised for its positive contribution to improving standards within the mobility sector.

Steve Jones, Business Manager and Chris Ford, Marketing Manager accepted the award, presented by broadcaster Angela Rippon, on behalf of Remploy Healthcare.

Producing an impressive 16,000 wheelchairs every year, Remploy Healthcare has recently expanded its existing product range to include the new Optimo Confort Tilt in Space model. The company has been selected by global leaders Dupont Medical to exclusively launch the innovative wheelchair to the UK and Ireland markets. Featuring a unique tilting seat and backrest in addition to a three-way adjustable head rest, the Optimo Confort has been ergonomically designed to provide maximum user comfort and outstanding performance.
