We have handcrafted specialist seating for the NHS since 1972. Today our chairs are in more than 80% of NHS hospital trusts, and we do far more than supply them: we audit your fleet, standardise it, write the justification, chase it through procurement, train your staff, and service it for years afterwards.

Seating gets bought reactively, one chair at a time, by whoever has budget that week. Nobody owns it. So wards end up with dozens of chair types, no spares, no training, and patients who would rather stay in bed than sit in them.
Dozens of chair types, none quite right for the patient in front of you
Seating standardisation: fewer chair types, each covering a wider clinical range
Patients asking to go back to bed within twenty minutes, so mobilisation slips
Comfort designed in, so patients stay out of bed for longer
Pressure damage and manual handling risk from chairs that were never assessed
Free clinical assessments on your ward, and a full audit of every chair you own
Business cases rejected because there was no evidence to attach
Pre-filled justification templates and risk assessments, and we chase the approval through procurement for you
Chairs written off years early because no one could source a part
Modular parts and UK-wide engineers, so chairs last their full life
Budget spent again next year on the same problem
Service contracts with fixed fees, and one planned fleet instead of yearly firefighting
Most suppliers sell you a chair and send an invoice. Here is everything that comes with working with us. All of it is included, and none of it is an upsell. Everything here supports the 10 Year Health Plan shift of care closer to home, and its focus on getting better value from every pound the NHS spends. See everything that is included when your trust works with us.
We record every chair you own, its condition, location and clinical suitability, and hand you the database.
ExploreA smaller range of chairs covering a wider clinical need. Fewer SKUs, less training, less waste, lower cost.

ExplorePre-filled justification forms, risk assessments, PAQs and seat sizing forms, written for your process.
ExploreWe track the requisition, chase the approvals and follow up with procurement and finance on your behalf, so the order keeps moving without using your clinical time.
ExploreOn-ward product training after delivery, plus CPD training sessions, webinars and lunch-and-learns.
ExploreUK-wide engineers, 3 to 5 year contracts, fixed fees, agreed service levels, modular spare parts.
ExploreWe hold your stock, deliver to ward level on call-off, track assets and remove old chairs for disposal.
ExploreThe Lento Mobile was designed with Manchester University NHS FT to cut transfers. We build with clinicians, not at them.
ExploreMost trusts start with a free audit of one ward. It costs nothing and tells you what you actually own.
Talk to the NHS teamWe pioneered seating standardisation in NHS hospitals, and it is still the single biggest change most trusts can make to their seating. The principle is simple: a smaller range of chairs with a wider clinical application, rather than the sprawl of one-off purchases most wards accumulate.

The hardest part of getting the right chair is rarely choosing it. It is getting it approved. So we give your finance and procurement teams the documents they ask for, pre-filled, for every product we make, and then we follow the requisition through the system so it does not sit waiting on somebody’s desk.

One call with our NHS team. No pitch. We will tell you honestly whether we can help, and what it would involve.
We bring the chairs to you for two weeks, gather your staff feedback, and give you the data whether you buy or not.
Justification, chasing the approval, delivery, ward-level call-off, staff training and servicing. You get one point of contact throughout.
Our chairs are in critical care, older people's wards, oncology, PICU, rehab and stroke units across the UK.
Tissue viability, manual handling, therapies, infection control and clinical procurement teams.
Handcrafted in Yorkshire since 1972, with in-house technicians and modular parts kept in stock.
