Our friends at funeral directors AW Lymn The Family Funeral Service are ensuring the health and well-being of staff after taking delivery of a new range of our lightweight body lifting stretchers from.
The company, one of the Midlands' largest and longest established funeral businesses, has chosen the  bespoke-designed Model 11 Stretchers for its funeral homes across Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire and the choice of 50 units represents  the largest single order in the UK for Ferno’s ‘first-call’ stretcher.
AW Lymn The Family Funeral Service is well established family business with 24 offices in the East Midlands. Nigel Lymn Rose, managing director, said: “We were looking for a new range of stretchers which were kitted out with the latest technology and innovations and would also help protect our employees from injuries whilst lifting and carrying. The Model 11 Stretcher is the perfect solution.
“Ferno were able to meet our specific requirements, even able to incorporate our company logo on to each stretcher. The quality of the product is outstanding and customer service has been excellent throughout.”
The Model 11 stretcher is a simple and economical first call stretcher which provides more control and ensures the safety of users to prevent accidents and injury. It has two front wheels for easy maneuvering over all surfaces and folds in half when not in use for easy carrying and storage. It also includes two quick-release patient restraints, a footrest and a carry case.
Chris King, business development manager at Ferno, added: “Our bespoke manufacturing service is something we are very proud of and the ability of Ferno to meet AW Lymn The Family Funeral Service’s exact requirements was crucial in securing this order. We like to work closely with, and listen to, our customers’ needs so that we can deliver a product which meets their needs and offers good value for money.
“An increasing concern for those operating in the funeral sector, and indeed all the sectors we deal with, is the health and safety of employees whilst lifting and carrying and the prevention of related injuries. Ferno is responding to this by developing products which are innovative and ultimately make life easier and safer for workers.”
Ferno also offers a range of stretchers, trolleys and refrigeration units for the funeral and mortuary sector as well as an extensive after-sales service with repair and maintenance.
