Kirton, the specialist seating company with over 26 years experience, named Mr Steve Hyett, Director of Sales for IRM Mobility and Healthcare Ltd, based in Yate, Bristol, ‘Dealer of the Year 2005 -2006‘ at this year’s Naidex exhibition at the Birmingham NEC on Wednesday, 26th April, 2006.

An unsuspecting Steve Hyett, was invited to come to the Kirton stand at 15:30 in time for Mark Fowkes, Healthcare Sales Director and Beverly Wharton, Director of Marketing to present him with the highest accolade available to a Kirton Dealer. In addition, he received a certificate, an engraved crystal bowl and a bottle of champagne with chocolates. This was in front of his family and colleagues as well as the mini bus of Occupational Therapists he brought with him that day. Mr Hyett was visably delighted.

Steve Hyett, Sales Director - Quote:
“I am absolutely delighted to have won the Kirton ‘Dealer of the Year’ Award, I feel like a celebrity at the moment. However, I must stress that it is very much a team effort here at IRM. We are a small team but everyone works extremely hard to ensure our customers receive a very personalised service. We simply aren’t about the hard sell and we pride ourselves in matching chairs to customers needs, taking all aspects of their situation into account.

Working with a company like Kirton is an absolute pleasure, a breath of fresh air! They are very supportive. We are indebted to Monique Borthwick, Beverly Wharton, Mark Fowkes and our representative Nathan Walker, they are a wonderful team and continually provide lots of training both internally and externally at their factory Haverhill. We also get invited to new product launches as a team, which is really beneficial.

Winning this award is as much about Kirton’s supportive and nurturing company ethos, as it is about myself, my team and IRM Mobility and Healthcare Ltd.

I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who helped me win this award, including Kirton.

Mark Fowkes – Quote:

Just like everyone at Kirton, Steve and his team understands the importance of quality service provision and ensuring each individual receives the correct product to meet their very specific needs. Being helpful and responsive is at the heart of their business coupled with the fact they are genuinely good people.”
