PPS’S AUSTRALIAN TOUR LANDS SIX FIGURE ORDER FOR RUGBY WORLD CUP EMERGENCY DECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS


Decontamination technology specialists, Milton Keynes based Professional Protection Systems, have landed a six figure contract to supply decontamination shower units as part of the security operation that will surround the Rugby World Cup games that will be played in New South Wales.

According to PPS Managin Director MArk Whitcher, the order was obtained whilst he was on an Australian sales tour demonstrating the company’s products recently. “It seems it was something they had left to last” says Whitcher, “so we had to do some pretty fast negotiating to make sure

that everything was there by the first game this Friday (Oct 10) when Australia play Argentina.”

By pulling out all the stops PPS have supplied New South Wales emergency services, who are responsible for terrorist response, with four of their large metal framed decontamination units that can handle 250 casualties and hour and one smaller inflatable unit. The large units can be up and running at the scene of an incident in 12 minutes, the smaller units in three.

To demonstrate the large units to the New South Wales Disaster Management team required a large area ,difficult when you are in a couple of hotel rooms, but the ever resourceful duo, managed to hire an empty hotel swimming pool for what turned out to be a highly successful demo.

An enormous amount of interest was shown in the PPS range by different Australian companies and organisations,
not just in the decontamination equipment but in the company’s range of protective clothing as well. “ Our research showed that Australia was a great potential market but we never expected to get a six figure order this quickly” commented Whitcher. This Australian order now means that PPS is selling its equipment in every continent.
