Welcome to the sixth in the series of “We Ask Our Experts”. In this series of posts, we focus on our customers and our friends in the business community. The concept is to pose a series of quick questions to known experts in the various industry verticals.

Today’s post is all about Occupational Therapy as we speak with John Murphy from Advanced Seating.

Tell us a bit about Advanced Seating?

 

Advanced Seating provides a therapeutic seating service by offering assessments and a range of high-quality Therapeutic Clinical Chairs.

How have you found navigating through the ever-changing lockdown restrictions? 

 

Navigating through lockdown has been challenging however we have worked around the challenges as much as possible. The learning is becoming more flexible and creative in order to navigate our way.

How have you managed to give your customers peace of mind throughout the different levels as plans are changed/delayed? 

 

We are able to give peace of mind by still carrying out our essential service, wearing our PPE to ensure environments are safe, reducing time to minimise contact and offering online services if required.

Although this is a time of disruption, would you agree that it is also a time of opportunity?

 

Yes – There is always opportunity in the midst of challenges. Businesses have adapted and in many cases are operating very differently today to what would have been the “norm”. Companies are looking at their businesses from a different perspective and are offering different services which some may have not done previous to current disruptions.

What is the number one thing you wished people knew about your company? 

 

That we genuinely care and want to help people as much as we can.

How has your business changed in the last year? 

We have become more responsive, for us that has been the biggest change.

What is the most positive thing to have happened for Advanced Seating in the last year?

The most positive thing to have happened to us is that we were able to continue to help people through our business. Other companies have helped us also in the last year as we all know the current challenges a much bigger than any one business! It really is important to appreciate the small daily things as current living is restricted. We can’t control the pandemic but we can control our minds. That is powerful.
