Ferno is a world leading innovator, manufacturer and supplier of medical equipment to emergency medical services, fire and rescue services, hospitals and other major industries throughout the UK.
Obviously, we are delighted to be working with the team from Ferno and will be responsible for raising the profile of the company in the UK and developing a social media strategy that helps Ferno connect with new audiences online.
Ferno, supported by its parent company in the US, has been trading in the UK for the past 40 years and has established a strong reputation for innovative design and service in its key emergency services markets. Our job at GREEN is to build on that legacy and hard-won reputation to help a Ferno develop new markets as it continues to grow as a successful UK manufacturing company.
Most recently, the company is set become one of the stars in the new Channel 5 series Big Body Squad – which follows ambulance teams, fire crews, carers, and others whose job it is to look after the UK’s morbidly obese people.
Ferno, based in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, has developed a range of specialist equipment including ambulance trolleys, wheel chairs, evacuation chairs and hospital trolleys which will appear in the Channel 5’s new fly-on-the-wall documentary Big Body Squad.
Ferno managing director Jon Ellis said: “The rise in obesity in the UK population has required Ferno, over a number of years, to design, develop and manufacture a range of specialist medical equipment to treat the nation’s bariatric condition and provide the medical profession with a solution to what is a growing problem.”
Ferno, which has been trading for 40 years, has developed a range of bariatric patient handling equipment which includes the Harrier® LT, the only electro-hydraulic trolley in the UK pre-hospital market that will lift a patient weight of 350kg. This minimises the effort needed for patient transport while protecting medical staff from any potential ergonomic problems.
