Expansion Into Health Sector
Eruma plc, the AIM traded specialist provider of counter terrorism and intruder prevention products and intelligent emergency lighting, has won a £120,000 contract to install its emergency lighting system in Ealing Hospital as part of a major refurbishment programme. The contract, won following a two year competitive tender process, is anticipated to represent the first stage of an anticipated roll-out of the system across the hospital.
Eruma CEO Wayne Money said, “The health sector offers considerable opportunities for Eruma so we are delighted to have secured an initial foothold at Ealing Hospital, which can act as a case-study in other tenders. We are delighted that Illuminex is gaining traction in the market as businesses look for products that address the global challenge around energy consumption, cost and carbon reduction. This increased interest should see Illuminex deliver a significant return for investment over the coming years.”
Anthony Rankine, Head of Capital and Projects for the Ealing NHS Trust said, “We chose the Xscape series of products because of its "state of the art" functionality, extra low energy consumption and reduced maintenance costs. One of our deciding factors was Illuminex’s ability to design and install the system in our hospital without the need to shut crucial parts of the busy wards. The product also met our expectation on price and value for money.”
