Courtney Thorne Sales and Marketing Director, Dave Hewitt said “I am very pleased that VWS chose Courtney Thorne as their go-to nurse call solution provider, we now have plans to work closely together and offer innovative solutions coupled with exemplary service. ”

VWS’s Head of Business Development, Hugh Wilson, said “

The Team at VWS are delighted to have entered this exciting partnership with Courtney Thorne.

One of the key reasons we chose Courtney Thorne is the backward compatibility of their product. Many other manufacturers bring out new product which requires their customers to continually spend significant funds updating out of date unsupported product. All new products Courtney Thorne develop are full compatible with legacy systems going back up to 50 years. This commitment ensures not just the installation, but the lifecycle cost is kept as low as possible. Courtney Thorne Care Solutions can be designed and deployed very quickly for both New Build and upgrade projects. This is very important at difficult times like now, when we are all trying to keep contact with others at a minimum.

In addition, it is fantastic to work with a UK manufacturer who have a UK based Technical Support Team. Sometimes it can be a challenge dealing with overseas manufacturers with poor local UK support.

VWS are looking forward to building a long-term relationship with the Team at Courtney Thorne. Please feel free to contact us to find out more about how our new partnership can help provide the right solution for your organisation.
