Naidex National is an excellent platform for showcasing new and exciting products, and this years event (5th-7th April, Birmingham NEC) promises to be no different. Exhibitors from across the UK and oversees will launch their latest products and services, allowing visitors to discover all thats new in the disability and healthcare industries. Visitors will also have the chance to vote for their favourite product within the Innovation Zone with the winner awarded the Naidex New Product of the Year title.
Last years winner of the award was Mangar International with their innovative Mangar Back Saver. Andrew Macphail, Head of Marketing at Mangar, commented, The coverage gained from winning the New Product of the Year Award generally helped promote Mangar to a wider audience. It did not just help promote the winning product but helped showcase Mangar so that people saw us as a Moving & Handling company, not just a bathing company.

With no stored hot water and an anti-bacterial copper tank this product is both safe and bacteria free.
