Bio-Rite Ltd

Join a rapidly growing industry providing decontamination services to the NHS, Local Authorities & Care Homes

The healthcare decontamination sector has seen rapid growth in recent years. Challenges faced by healthcare providers are only set to continue as they struggle to cope with the increasing threat from infections such as MRSA, C.Difficile or Norovirus.

As a group, Bio-Rite has more than 40 years’ experience in infection control providing tailored services to the NHS, Local Authorities, care and nursing homes. As well as area decontamination, we provide equipment recycling which enables beds and mobility apparatus to be decontaminated safely and effectively. We also supply a mattress decontamination service that meets the needs of NHS hospitals, private clinics and nursing homes and complies with all infection control guidelines.

Bio-Rite is a provisional member of the British Franchise Association (bfa) and we are now looking to offer suitable candidates the chance to become Bio-Rite franchisees, running their own businesses in strategic locations throughout the UK. Successful Bio-Rite franchisees will be self-motivated and get on well with people. Ideally they will have management and sales experience.

However, as full training and help with set-up will be provided, the franchise could be suitable for anyone with a broad background in business and who is determined, prepared to work hard and has the enthusiasm to succeed.

Bio-Rite’s products and services include:

  • A community care equipment decontamination service that treats over 250,000 items of healthcare equipment each year. This takes place from our facility in Alton, Hampshire. This facility has been awarded an ISO9001 accreditation.
  • A Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination Chamber. This is able to decontaminate a range of community care medical equipment as well as hospital beds and mattresses.
  • An outsourced area decontamination service. With this service our team visits hospitals and care homes and uses our innovative Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) technology to decontaminate areas that are infected or are prone to infection. This service was developed for and proven in over 40 NHS hospitals across the UK.
