Rt. Hon Maria Miller MP nominates Blatchford for Govt. project

The visit of the Rt. Hon Maria Miller to the Blatchford Headquarters on
Friday 23rd was a great opportunity to show the Minister for the Disabled
the latest innovations in prosthetic technology for lower limb amputees.
Miller commented on the range of high level processes she had
encountered on her tour of the R&D and Factory facilities and the
knowledge base of staff in the use of top class CAD, metal machining
centres and complex elastomer and fibre technologies.

Welcomed by Stephen Blatchford, CEO, and conducted on her tour by
Saeed Zahedi OBE, Technical Director and Robert Welsh, Operations
Director, Maria Miller also spoke to a number of amputees who were
testing prosthetic prototypes about the changes the new technologies,
like microprocessor controlled knees and feet, make in enhancing their
ability to take part in all the activities necessary to their lifestyles.

In recognition of our contribution to society by virtue of our world leading design and manufacturing capabilities Maria Miller, in her role
as Constituency MP, has nominated Chas. A. Blatchford as her entry for the Made by Britain project and her citation is as follows:
Blatchford Product Ltd, in Basingstoke, is one of the longest established prosthetics and orthotics companies in the world. Mobility is a
vital part of independence to all of us; by providing prostheses and related services to the people who need them, Blatchford is helping
change and improve thousands of lives for the better.
