Bunzl Lockhart launch a new range of products targeted at the healthcare sector
As part of a continuing drive to meet customer needs, leading catering equipment company Bunzl Lockhart has identified additional product requirements suitable for the specialist Healthcare market. As a result of this, the company has launched an innovative range of specially adapted new products which have been developed to meet the needs of both the caterer and consumer.
The new range includes specialist cutlery that is tailor made for people who have arthritis or rheumatism and non-slip polycarbonate plates which are specifically designed to collect food in the deepest part of the plate to make eating easier. There is also a ‘Dignity Ceramic Range’ which features two-handled feeder cups and deep soup/cereal bowls with an extra wide rim to help avoid spillage. An antibacterial polycarbonate line is also available which aims to help reduce the risk of spreading infections.
Ben Tearall, Director of Marketing and Regional Sales says:
“The care home and hospital sector is an area of growing importance for us, and we felt that to succeed we would need to listen to our customers and build our product offering around their feedback. Initial results are encouraging and we are working hard to launch an additional range of competitively priced products in 2009 to sit alongside our more traditional product ranges."
