| Delegates visiting our stand are also learning more about how our products are manufactured right here in Yorkshire, at our Halifax facility just a few miles away from the venue. With over 130 years of UK manufacturing heritage, we continue to champion clinical innovation backed by local craftsmanship. |  |
 | Our Yorkshire facility alone supports 128 jobs, generates £1 million in tax revenue, and sources 70% of materials from UK suppliers – contributing an additional £516,000 to the economy. Not only is this great for the region, but it also drastically reduces our carbon footprint. For example, shipping beds from China emits over 28,000kg of CO₂, while making and delivering them locally from Halifax creates just 552kg – a 98% reduction. |
