Safespaces, a member of the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA), has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
Now in its 58th year, the King’s Award for Enterprise is the most prestigious business award in the UK and recognises companies that have demonstrated outstanding innovation in their field.
One of only 59 organisations to be recognised with this coveted award, Safespaces secured the award as a result of its pioneering work in creating adaptable spaces and beds for individuals with complex needs.
Each product is designed to meet the unique needs of the user to improve safety and provide a sensory-friendly environment. Safespaces customers consistently report significant improvements to the individual’s well-being, sleep patterns, and anxiety levels, as well as providing peace of mind to their caregivers.
Alastair Demick, Managing Director of Safespaces, said: “Every member of the Safespaces family cares passionately about the work we do to help and support families and individuals with complex needs, and I am delighted that their hard work and dedication has been recognised with the King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
“Innovation was the driving force behind Safespaces when the founders began this journey in 2001, and we are just as committed today to drive innovation in creating spaces and beds that truly make a difference in people’s lives.
“It is an honour to receive such a prestigious award, and we look forward to an exciting future supporting OTs and families through the provision of innovative, safe, sensory-friendly environments that enhance the well-being of our users.”
