Evac+Chair installed to improve fire safety at premium office space in Birmingham
Established in 1982, Evac+Chair is a trusted leader in
emergency evacuation solutions, dedicated to providing those with impaired
mobility a safe, dignified and quick means of evacuation and transfer. Having
helped organisations create safer and more inclusive environments for over four
decades, Evac+Chair is trusted and relied upon in emergency situations to
assist in saving people’s lives.
Having opened its doors to businesses in Birmingham in 2023,
10X by Spacemade offers a range of private offices and flexible co-working
spaces, as well as a versatile events space, meeting rooms, a fully equipped
gym, a bouldering wall, and a rooftop terrace for occupants to enjoy.
Working closely with Evac+Chair, the flexible office space
has now installed a dedicated Evac+Chair 300H into
its Brindley Place site – being a light, strong and easy to use evacuation
solution ideal for commercial settings.
Claire Blakemore, managing director of Evac+Chair,
explained: “It’s vital that everyone has access to a safe means of
evacuation in an emergency at work, and we’re pleased to see that the team at
Spacemade share our commitment to inclusivity.
“The Evac+Chair 300H can be easily used by a single
operator, making it the ideal choice for offices and commercial spaces. Not
only can this model be used for evacuation purposes, but it can also in the
event of lift failures or health emergencies too. Keeping people safe should be
the top priority for all employers, and we’re looking forward to seeing
Evac+Chair in even more office spaces in Birmingham and throughout the UK.”
Becky Thorn, senior community manager at 10X by Spacemade said: “Our
10X community is growing by the day and is home to so many diverse members with
different needs. The safety of our members always comes first, so installing an
Evac+Chair was the next step in our commitment to safety for everyone.
“The chair has given us peace of mind that in the event of
an emergency, those members who need assistance can be evacuated safely and
promptly.”
