This month sees a dramatic announcement about a completely new direction for our business.  

This is a copy of the Press Release

Osmond Group and Microlink PC, two well-known and long-established companies, now offer a combined national service with regional offices across England , Scotland and Wales . 

In a joint statement, Managing Directors Nasser Siabi and Guy Osmond said “The two companies have very similar cultures with excellent reputations for customer service.  Microlink is the largest supplier of assistive technology in the UK and Osmond is the most innovative supplier of products to improve workplace ergonomics.  Each has a presence in both the commercial and education sectors but the blend of business is very different.  Combined with the differing product mix, the activities of the two operations are complementary in every respect”.
 
The new partnership will enable customers to source assistive technology and ergonomics products from their favoured supplier with a seamless integration of the services.   The education sector will benefit from a simplified ordering, installation and training process and business clients will now be able to manage, assess and accommodate disabilities such as visual impairment or dyslexia in a similar way to musculo-skeletal disorders.
 
The two companies will each continue to operate from their existing headquarters in Dorset and Hampshire but will share resources at the regional offices in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Plymouth, Birmingham and Newcastle .

As usual, we are at Safety & Health Expo this year.  You can find us on Stand B10 in Hall 9 where we are demonstrating all 4 services referred to above.  New to the stand will be sample products from the Osmond Office range as well as a cross-section of Assistive Technology products and live demonstrations of our Online Training range.  Click here for more information about the Expo.

Over the years we have accumulated a number of web sites and we decided it was about time you could find them all in one place!  www.osmondgroup.co.uk now provides a portal to 8 different sites, including unrestricted access to our proven Posture Guide, the world-renowned RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) tool and our new "Watch Your Back" stretching exercises for young people. 

We are pleased to announce the renewal of our Investor in People status at the start of the year.  This is reviewed every three years and the assessor was pleased with the continued evolution of our systems and procedures for developing our personnel.
