Nationwide taking care

Chief executive of the Nationwide Hygiene Group David Scholes said: "Shareholder companies within the Nationwide Hygiene Group have been supporting and servicing the care home and nursing sector either individually or as part of central agreements since 1986.

"The Group manages all national, regional and local customers ordering and invoicing centrally through its Head Office operation. Educational establishments receive their products and services supplied locally through a network of 36 branches. Further afield Nationwide’s joint venture investment in INPACS GmbH provides the worldwide strength of buying power and professional expertise which makes us an international provider to the sector."

Because Nationwide supply through a truly local entrepreneurial service delivery platform, all local care home establishments can rely on a quick, efficient and cost effective service. Nationwide seeks to provide modern systems, experience and expertise by focusing on 'in use' efficiencies and innovations designed to make savings across the cleaning, catering and hygiene expenditure budget.

David Scholes said: "The care home sector should consider the amount of management time, cost and effort that can be saved if cleaning and hygiene supplies are tailored for use and sourced properly. Part of our service provision is the supply of management information reports that enable budget holders to enjoy levels of managerial control and oversight that they have always needed and wanted.”
