The Langer Group marks a new era with celebrity opening of new base |
 |
| GUESTS including more than 100 medical professionals from all over the country- and a celebrity footballer – made the official opening of The Langer Group's new base a day to remember. |
| Although some guests from overseas were prevented from attending because of the volcanic cloud air disruption, the turn-out was excellent with podiatrists, chiropodists and physiotherapists from the NHS and private practices all over the country taking the opportunity to learn more about us. |
| Last year we took over TM Custom in Derbyshire and RX Laboratories in Somerset. With each company making products in different ways, the move has allowed for the different processes to continue under one roof, giving customers loyal to each brand the quality products they have been used to for decades. |
| Guests took the opportunity to see the various manufacturing processes on a factory tour, attend prescription writing classes and meet employees, including many who have honed their skills over years of working with us. |
| Previously based in Cheadle in Staffordshire, the move was only a few miles but has placed The Langer Group on a two acre site, with 16,000sq ft of manufacturing space and a further 10,000ft of offices. |
| Operations director, Peter Taylor, said: “The open day gave us the opportunity to meet with our customers face-to-face and the feedback we had was excellent. Many travelled a great distance to meet us and our thanks go to everyone who attended." |
| One guest who didn’t have to travel too far was Stoke City Football Club’s £3.25m new goalkeeper signing Asmir Begovic who came from the premier league club's Britannia Stadium a short distance away to perform the official opening. |
| The 22 year-old Bosnian International, who joined the premier league Potters in February, was interested in the technology involved in making the devices and the benefits they can bring to athletes. |
| He delighted workers by signing autographs and presenting a signed shirt which is to be raffled off for a local hospice. |
