iansyst Ltd forges new partnership with Posturite (UK) Ltd

Cambridge based assistive technology expert, iansyst Ltd, has joined forces with ergonomic furniture specialists Posturite (UK) Ltd, enhancing its range of disability solutions to include specialist ergonomic furniture. Iansyst’s workplace customers now have a single route to expertise on disabilities ranging from dyslexia, visual impairment and musculoskeletal problems through iansyst’s workplace division ‘re-adjust’ (www.re-adjust.co.uk).

The re-adjust online one-stop-shop provides workplace guidance on providing assistive technologies, conforming to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), up-to-date grant information and consultancy for employers with disabled employees. The partnership with Posturite will give customers access to an extended range of expertise, an extensive product portfolio ranging from dyslexia assistive software and individual assessments to ergonomic chairs and workstation accessories.

Posturite Ltd specialises in providing ergonomic solutions to the problems associated with work-related upper limb disorder (WRULDs), back pain, disability and musculo-skeletal issues. Its world-class portfolio of products include specialist seating, desks and workstation accessories designed to combat the worst effects of WRULDs and back pain and can prevent them from occurring altogether.

Working in harmony with iansyst’s full service approach to disability provision, Posturite experts will provide individual assessments to determine the most suitable ergonomic solution to fit the users’ needs.

Janine King, Director of Marketing and Innovation at iansyst Ltd said: “This new partnership will allow iansyst to provide a fully inclusive service to our customers. It is vital that the correct provisions are made in the workplace to support disabled employees and through our alliance with Posturite we have expanded our offering and can now ensure that all workplace needs are met.”

Ian Fletcher-Price, CEO of Posturite, commented: “We are delighted that we have been able to formalise a partnership arrangement with iansyst that will bring big benefits to both companies’ clients. Our businesses are complementary in many ways, so it makes perfect sense to develop a joint approach that will give each others’ customers access to additional expertise, services and products.

“Now we’ll be able to offer solutions for disabilities such as visual impairment or dyslexia in the same way that we do for musculoskeletal problems, and vice versa.”
