New additions fuel FloKi Health’s expansion plan

A health tech start-up has expanded its workforce as it targets future growth.

FloKi Health has taken its project team from eight to 18 staff.

The Newcastle-based firm has invested in experience across technical development, sales and marketing to boost its offering of digital services that allow hospitals to manage and maintain medical equipment.

Among the new faces is business development director Nick Bramley.

With more than 30 years’ experience in sales, performance excellence and customer development, he will oversee new business strategy and outreach.

He said: “I am delighted to be joining such a dynamic business with a genuine passion to deliver improvements and value to the NHS.

“I hope to engage and inspire a wide range of NHS professionals, by showcasing the advantages that FloKi Health can bring to patient care through deployment of our smart technology solutions.”

The increase in project headcount is the latest announcement from FloKi, with the business having earlier this year revealed the development of its Bluetooth beacon technology.

Expanding on its existing product, bosses say medical professionals can now use FloKi’s solution to track and locate loan equipment in the local community, as well as within hospital walls.

Fenwick Smith, chief executive, said: “This year has been a pivotal moment for FloKi Health and there has been a step change to ensure we have a solid solution that will really make a difference to the NHS.

“The impact of coronavirus has also helped in shaping our solution so that hospitals can save time on the location of equipment, ensuring nurses can spend more time with patients.

“The expansion of our team has not only meant that we can develop our platform and beacon technology, but that we can also expand beyond the North East and into hospitals across the UK.”
