CLARITY, the shining star in MS Storage’s range of hospital furniture, is set to take the public healthcare sector by storm. Over the last 8 years, MS Storage has worked in partnership with the NHS as an approved Pasa supplier and has recently been awarded the prestigious NHS Supply Chain contract for a further 3 years.

The new CLARITY bedside locker has been specifically developed and designed to meet the stringent demands of modern day hospital environments. Howard Simpkin, MD of MS Storage explained the science behind Clarity’s ground-breaking effectiveness:

“We wanted to create a patient bedside locker that was not only functional but also supported the efforts of the NHS to significantly reduce the spread of MRSA and other microbial contamination.”
Simpkin went on to tell us:

“The reduced risk of infection lies in the locker’s unique antibacterial finish. BioCote is a silver oxide antibacterial coating which helps to combat the spread of diseases, such as MRSA.”

The CLARITY bedside locker comprises three individual drawer units and has rounded, rather than sharp edges, to facilitate easier cleaning and minimise staff and patient injury. The secure top drawer is designed to be used for the storage of patient medication. The middle drawer serves as a personal storage area, whilst the bottom drawer features adjustable storage provision for a washbowl at the rear of the compartment. The unit also features a highly visible raised towel rail at the rear of the unit, which serves as a visible prompt designed to encourage regular cleaning.

Designed to comply to BS 2881:1989 security Level 1, CLARITY offers a bedside unit that is both easy to decontaminate on a regular basis, whilst presenting an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The draw fronts and top are manufactured from a melamine faced fibre board, whist the drawer interior and sides are constructed from sheet steel. The entire surface area of the unit is sealed with BioCote, which helps combat the growth of micro-organisms within the ward environment.

With over 30 years experience working in partnership with the NHS, MS Storage not only understands the challenges that face the public healthcare sector, but proactively works to develop cost effective and innovative solutions to intelligently meet their evolving needs.

MS Storage Equipment is pleased to announce that they have been named as a supplier on the highly prestigious Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework for the supply, delivery and installation of furniture and associated services (RM3812) for High Density Steel Storage.

As a leading company in the field of specialist storage equipment, the company has already earned a strong reputation by over-delivering on successful contracts with large UK bodies such as the MOD, NHS and Police Service. The Crown Commercial Services framework awarded this month will run until the end of 2019 and will see MS Storage Equipment offer a comprehensive consultation, supply and installation service for static and mobile shelving systems to public sector organisations across the UK.

Managing Director, Ben Simpkin commented:

“We’re thrilled to have been successful in the process and would like to think our commitment to customer satisfaction, value for money and service has been key in securing our place on such a prestigious framework”

Mr Simpkin continued: “We do far more than a straightforward supply and install service – we’ve built our reputation on devising innovative, practical and market leading storage systems to meet the needs of a diverse range of clients across the public and private sectors.”

MS Storage also strives to provide products in keeping with modern day ward requirements, the new ‘Clarity’ range of bedside lockers offered by MS is a new concept designed to provide a secure compartment for patient’s drugs combined with the facility for frequent decontamination whilst maintaining an aesthetic furnished appearance.

MS are able to find the optimal solution for each individual client. Perhaps this, more than anything else, is what appeals to their many customers in both the public and private sectors.

Framework agreements such as CCS aid the end user in the procurement of goods (in this case mobile shelving, shelving and storage equipment) as all necessary quality, environmental and cost comparisons have already been done by the leading organisation running the framework agreement. By using these framework agreements clients don’t have to commission or initiate their own separate tenders.

UKLacrosse, a European distributor for all Warrior and Brine Lacrosse equipment, has had a complete office refit courtesy of MS Storage. The distributor wanted to create a more user friendly and dynamic space to present its products and sporting equipment to customers, who often travel across the country to visit the store.

MS Storage provided bespoke shelving and racking to maximise the existing space.

Keith Wainer, Owner of UKLacrosse said: “We stock some of the best lacrosse equipment available on the market and as a result we needed a store that met both our needs and those of our customers. MS Storage did a fantastic job creating a user-friendly space within our timescale and budget.”
