AKW News from Across the Pond – Parsons House Opens in Middlewich, UK

AKW Holdings Group Executive Chair Opens Parsons House with High Sheriff of Cheshire and Mayor of Middlewich, UK

Despite the summer rain, on July 9th, AKW Medi-Care Ltd’s new showroom and manufacturing facility was officially opened. In attendance was the High Sheriff of Cheshire and Mayor of Middlewich who cut a ribbon and unveiled a commemorative plaque. Nick Parsons, Executive Chair of AKW Holdings Group and namesake of the building, was also present with other AKW senior leaders.

Following AKW’s acquisition of Contour Showers Limited in 2022, it became clear that the existing facility could not meet AKW’s manufacturing requirements. Subsequently, a new production site was found just a few miles away and taken on under a long-term lease.

The new site also includes offices and a large bathroom and kitchen showroom and client assessment center. This will enable Occupational Therapists, contractors, and specifiers to browse AKW’s product range in situ and receive training as needed.

Middlewich is the second AKW showroom to open in the UK, with another located in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire.
