Advice and Guidance

International trade agreements – growing, get on-board!

Over the last 18 months we’ve seen a huge increase in demand for Hospital Direct products from around the world. Thankfully a recent investment in additional heavier-duty manufacturing technology has allowed us to embrace this, and now actively encourage it.

Our R&D team have also been working hard to expand the HD product range. We are confident that in every area where patient handling is required, we’ve got it covered.

Our aim – to establish ourselves as the leading provider of patient handling solutions – internationally!

With the largest collection of products, and a valued reputation for high standards, we feel confident about being at the top in the UK healthcare market. If you are already one of our distributors, thank you for working with us. We do appreciate it and trust you are reaping the rewards. If you aren’t a trade partner yet, are you ready to join our distributor list and help us take on the rest of the world?
