Strident is growing and moving to larger premises

IMPORTANT NEWS | Strident is moving to larger premises in Swaffham, Norfolk

2018 is proving to be a year of major expansion for Strident - both through increasing business with our trade partners and clients - but also through the growth of some new business streams with significant players in the Care and Mobility sectors.

So here are all the details of our move that we need to tell you about so that we can continue to serve you with as little disruption as possible.

Where are we going?

We are moving about 12 miles West from our home of many years, Dereham, to the town of Swaffham, Norfolk. A famous market town since the 14th Century, we are looking forward to settling into our new home. In our expanded facility, we have the space to store our whole range of battery, charger, tester and traction products and despatch them to you for next day delivery.

The full postal address for Strident from Monday 9th July will be:

50 Turbine Way, Ecotech Business & Innovation Park, Swaffham, Norfolk, PE37 7XD.  The phone line remains 01362 300102 and fax line remains 01362 300103. 

When are we closed and unable to process orders?

Our first full day of trading from Swaffham will be Monday 9th July and our last day, before the move, for despatching orders will be Wednesday 4th July.   If possible, we'd really appreciate it if you can order as quickly as possible this week if you need the products delivered in the next few days.

We hope to maintain our saleslines throughout the move, but clearly, that depends on our phone provider's installation schedule. It is possible there may be some disruption on 6th July.

You will be able to continue to communicate with us via email or fax throughout the whole of the move. 

Thank you once again for your support

Whether you are part of our distributor network and have bought Strident products for your mobility products, we are only expanding because of you. So thank you for your trust in the Strident brand, and we look forward to providing you with more choice and an even higher level of service from next week.

Thank you for checking out our mobility batteries, chargers, testers and tyres at the Naidex 2018 Exhibition

A big thanks from the Strident team to all of you - retailers and users alike - who joined us at the Naidex 2018 Exhibition this week at the NEC Birmingham.   We enjoyed hearing your experiences of mobility products and answering any questions you had about the products we had on display.

Common discussion points included:

  • making mobility batteries in scooters, lifters and hoists last longer
  • getting the maximum range out of mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs
  • when to use the many different kinds of batteries available
  • the tasks that determine the best choice of battery

 

More to come...

We'll be writing some blogs to cover the answers to many of the questions asked. Until then, here are a few pictures from set-up to close of our time at the show.

Why Strident?

If you have not already come across Strident products in your local or online retailer, here is a quick rundown of why you should take a look while attending the Naidex 2018 Exhibition.

Why use our batteries?

Today it is apparent that there is no universal battery to fit every application. We recognised this at Strident and invested in R & D and extensive product testing. The result is a battery that is ideally suited for the medical market, one that will sustain high demands of constant use and will perform to a high number of cycles. This battery gives dependent users the confidence in having power when and where they need it.

Why use our chargers and testers?

The consistency of charge produces optimum battery performance. As such, the Strident range of chargers has been carefully selected to provide that consistency. By utilising the three critical stages required for quality battery charging, the Strident range gives the peace of mind to achieve the very best from your equipment. With the use of the Strident intelligent three-stage charging technique, premature battery failure is significantly reduced by ensuring the correct levels of charge are applied at every stage regardless of size. This technique eliminates the risk of gassing that is often caused by overcharging by traditional single-stage charging. Furthermore, this also maintains plate quality at its best performance level by reducing compound breakdown.

Why use our traction products?

With over 15 years experience in the mobility industry, Strident is well placed to offer the broadest range of high-quality mobility consumables including a full range of mobility tyres. Whether you are looking for Tyres, Tubes, Pneumatic or Solid, you will find a solution for your traction needs.

Celebrate National Battery Day 18th February with free delivery all week

free delivery mobility batteries

It's worth celebrating National Battery Day

On February 18th each year we apparently celebrate National Battery Day, Drink Wine Day and, most bizarre of all, Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. We will leave it to the winemakers and ice cream makers to promote their respective days - but we would like to stick with what we know best and promote National Battery Day!

So often we take for granted this amazing device that allows electricity to be carried around, well away from wires and chargers. We are all probably carrying many batteries around with us all day for devices such as phones, watches, key fobs, fitness devices, etc. The battery is not often seen – but it makes quite a lot of things possible.

For a significant number of people in the UK, batteries play an even more significant role – providing mobility and healthcare solutions for the disabled, injured, infirm or aged. To these groups, the battery that sits in their mobility scooter, powered wheelchair, personal hoist or riser chair makes many things possible.

How to celebrate National Battery Day

It may be a little too much to buy your mobility or healthcare battery a card or a bunch of flowers – however close to Valentines Day we are – but you could:

  • CHECK your batteries. The health of your battery is essential when it powers something that you depend upon.
  • CHARGE your batteries. Different batteries need different maintenance and charging regimes. We have articles on battery care that you can take a look at.
  • REPLACE old or unreliable batteries. Sadly, no battery lasts forever so don’t get caught out and replace ones at the end of their life. Here is where we really can help if you would like to call our Advice Line and see what would be the best replacement battery for your particular circumstances.

Our contribution to National Battery Day

In recognition of this annual celebration, we would like to offer FREE DELIVERY on any battery order placed with us during the week starting with National Battery Day. So from Sunday 18th February to Saturday 24th February, there will be no delivery charges added to your order.

The best thing to do is to call us on 01362 300102 or you can browse our online batteries catalogue and submit an enquiry.

We wish you a very happy, ‘flat-battery-free’, National Battery Day!
