“Our Door handles and push plates are working out brilliantly for us… They have given people peace of mind during these awful times knowing that we are safe to open and close doors in the normal way…. We increased our previous order as some areas did not have them and people were looking for them which is very positive” – Loraine Lahive, Facilities Co-Ordinator, Janssen Sciences Ireland UC

“Love the Purehold handles and the push plates, the handles look so stylish and are really nice to use. Knowing that both are antibacterial is essential for us in the food packaging industry. I have had nothing but compliments paid about them from many users on site and have been asked about them by customers and suppliers alike. 2 Great products” – Vaughan Smith, Quality Manager, Sharpak Yate

“I purchased the Purehold antibacterial push plates for the Barrowfield Hotel back in February, right after I took over the hotel. I bought four plates, 2 for the kitchen / restaurant and 2 for the outside part of the public toilet doors. I needed these because of the poor hygiene history of the hotel. In December and January the business was closed for nearly three weeks because of serious outbreaks of Norovirus. To avoid further outbreaks I ordered PRO handle and four push plates. Since then there has not been any outbreak of Norovirus and we did have not seen one single guest with symptoms of Norovirus. The push plates look discrete but professional at the same time. Easy to fit and easy to replace them. Great product, well worth the price.” - Bernie Korycki, General Manager, Daish’s Barrowfield Hotel

“I first saw the Purehold PRO hygienic door handle units whilst on a site visit to a national food manufacturing plant and instantly thought they were a great idea".
The added hygiene implications to a food operation area clear and the install was quick and easy and with no disruption to our business. Suppliers and visitors to our kitchens have been interested and impressed with the handles and we have seen a reduction in staff absence from colds and flu-like symptoms as a result of the install.” - Craig Rose, Executive Head Chef

Matt Richardson - Senior Infection Prevention Nurse - Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth
"What people may not realise is that potentially harmful bacteria exist everywhere, even in the community. When we are healthy our immune systems help protect us but it is hugely important that we find ways to stop these bugs getting into hospital wards where there are vulnerable patients. The Purehold PRO Hygiene Handle is a truly exciting development in the field of infection prevention. The original concept, thoughtful design and simple accessibility and ease of use will provide an extremely useful tool for improving hand-hygiene compliance in any institution"

Ann Higgins - Assistant Director of Nursing Infection Control - Mater Private Hospital, Dublin
“The Mater Private is already highly proactive in the area of infection prevention and control. The hospital operates a ‘search and destroy’ programme for the eradication of MRSA and other infections. Unlike the static, wall-mounted dispensers, which people can miss, the Purehold PRO Hygiene Handle does not require people to make a conscious decision about cleaning their hands.”

Karen Wares - Local Health Board Co-ordinator - NHS Grampian, Scotland
“NHS Grampian is already highly proactive in the area of infection prevention and control. Hand hygiene is a crucially important part of infection prevention and control and we have an established rigorous training and audit programme in place which is mandatory for all our staff. The trial of new Purehold PRO Hygiene Handle, in Dr Gray’s Hospital, affords us the opportunity to trial something new and innovative in hand hygiene which, it is anticipated, will continue to support the hand hygiene systems already in place.”
Julie Stewart - Infection Prevention and Control Nurse - NHS Grampian, Scotland
“Unlike static wall mounted dispensers, the Hygiene Handle requires people to make an active decision if they want to 'opt-out' of cleaning their hands, as they open a door. The Purehold PRO Hygiene Handle is a novel way of raising awareness to staff, patients and visitors regarding the need for clean hands.”
