plastics and introduced an operating system that reduces human input, increases productivity and diminishes the possibility of cross-contamination. An app interface allows for touchless remote
control, monitoring and programming of the trolley, and also provides HACCP data. What’s more, the touchpoints are all antimicrobial and this is the only trolley that can be 100% cleaned inside and out, even behind the ventilation panels. All in all, we consider Logiko a game-changer. No less impressive is the development of what
we’ve called the Steri-Station, a piece of equipment that completely sterilizes equipment inside and out. Te fact that it can sterilize not just Burlodge equipment but all rolling stock to prevent cross contamination between departments and wards will appeal to healthcare managers everywhere.
Preparing for what’s next As we look ahead to the next five years, we anticipate a huge demand on healthcare resources to manage this new reality. Tat includes coping with the demands of Covid, managing the backlog of procedures, and the possible long-term effects of reduced preventative care. In response, we continue to develop products
that allow operations to do more with less. Equipment like Logiko [pictured, above] is created expressly to maximize efficiencies, introduce greater automation, and allow for manageable running costs and greater flexibility all while boosting patient satisfaction. Tis all comes back to our close relationships
with clients, which starts with really understanding their day-to-day problems. Te experience we have means we speak the same language and can respond with solutions that make a real difference. Our HACCP monitoring system is a perfect example – a development that emerged directly from a client discussion. Tis system has now become industry standard and our BCloud is at the forefront of the technology. Te same holds true for FeedBack, the digital patient satisfaction system that we’re currently developing. Tis device gauges patient and customer satisfaction by electronically generating feedback so hospitals can highlight and quickly respond to issues around food quality, temperature or presentation. It effectively provides a complete picture and closes the loop between BCloud HACCP equipment monitoring and patient feeding, which leads to improved patient satisfaction. Tese efforts represent how Burlodge looks at
the totality of service rather than focusing solely on a narrow area. It’s that thinking that continues to distinguish our approach and ambitions in the industry. We’re so much more than a company that just supplies food trolleys. By questioning how operations can run smoother, faster and better, we are far more invested in developing stronger relationships and generating creative solutions. It’s a challenge that the entire Burlodge and temp-rite teams welcome every day and it’s why we look forward to finding ways to help clients better serve patients wherever in the world our equipment is found.
COMPANY STRUCTURE AND SYNERGIES While I’m based in the UK, regular interaction between head office and each country’s managing director keeps everyone up to speed. Every day offers new challenges and my involvement in product development is a vital part of my work. Our investment in tooling or in new technologies, such as cloud monitoring or touchless control systems, is shared between our brands, which gives us a good ROI.
FINDING BALANCE When I have time to pursue my other passions, it’s important that I get outside my comfort zone, both mentally and physically. Climbing Kilimanjaro and expeditions to both the North and South Poles have been a challenge, a privilege and an education in witnessing and conferring with scientists on the impact of climate change. It’s a reminder that we all need to limit our footprint and tread lightly. Otherwise, I can be found enjoying triathlons, skiing and sailing.
