LCP INSTALLS LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT ACROSS NETWORK

LCP, part of M Core, has announced that it is working alongside the charity, ‘Missed a Beat’, to provide defibrillators across our industrial property portfolio.

Six of the lifesaving devices have already been installed across LCP’s network of industrial estates, and plans are in place to ensure that all LCP owned industrial estates (where possible) will have them by the end of the year.

Jodie Wood, Industrial Property & Facilities Coordinator for LCP, said: “Our aim is to have defibrillators across all LCP industrial estates that don't currently have the lifesaving facility.

“Cardiac arrest survival rates are 50% - 70% if a defibrillator is used within five minutes, however there is a shortage of accessible units across the country. With our extensive network of UK businesses and retail parks we feel as though we can make a difference, while also providing peace of mind to our staff, tenants and those using our sites.

“This has been a long-term goal of ours and, thanks to this partnership with ‘Missed a Beat’, we are able to offer a real community lifeline.”

Mark Preston, Founder of Missed a Beat, added: “We are thrilled to be working with LCP to provide their properties with defibrillators and custom-made cabinets and posts. The units that have already been installed are registered with National Circuit and are searchable and available in any emergency 24/7.

“Using a defibrillator may feel daunting, but they are very easy to use in the event of an emergency. The unit gives the person using it verbal instructions and will not allow a shock to be given unless the device registers that the person needs it.”

Defibrillators are now available at Pensnett Estate, Kingswinford in three locations, Park Lane Industrial Estate - Oldbury, The Springfield Estate - Oldbury, and The Stourbridge Estate - Mill Race Lane.
