Ep 38. Catering to Kitchen Equipment Demands: A New Era of Sustainable Rental Services

 

CognitivePublishing · Ep 38. How a good NHS Trust shoud start

In episode 38 of the National Health Executive podcast, we were joined by divisional director at Rental+, Jon Steward, to discuss one of the foundational elements of any good health setting.

Rental+ offers the NHS cutting-edge foodservice and refrigeration equipment using a unique rental model.

Elaborating on the differences between this model and a typical procurement process, Jon explained: “First of all you just pay a monthly fee for the equipment; second of all, it is inclusive of service and maintenance – this is why the NHS loves this solution, because it reduces their capital outlay and gives them a fixed cost.”

This gives senior health leaders the peace of mind that sudden or hidden expenditures won’t wreak havoc with pre-determined budgets. A third point is that Rental+ guarantee the equipment will be working all the time.

Jon went onto say: “For healthcare executives considering Rental+, my key advice would be to view this as, not just a service, but as a partnership. We’ve worked with the NHS for so long – we’re not just a solution provider, we’re an extension of the trusts that we work with.”

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear more about how the NHS can benefit.
