Poole based Eureka Direct is a business which
makes sure that schools, independent health care providers, businesses,
and care homes have all the first aid supplies they need, delivered
on time. With a range which covers latex gloves to first aid kits,
plasters, dressings, cold therapy and health and safety equipment,
the company offers an extensive stock list for next day delivery
in the UK, all at very competitive prices.
Eureka's Standard HSE Compliant First Aid Kits
are suitable for low risk environments and offices and feature moulded
cases with hinged lids and wall fixing brackets. More specialised
kits are supplied to higher risk industries, and the company can
even supply "prescription only" drugs for the occupational health
market. Founded in 2000, and employing some 35 people, the business
deals with around 450 orders per day, through the internet, its
call centre, and its sales force.
Having had experience of ISO standards in a
sister company, Eureka's IT manager, Christian Starr decided to
go for ISO27001 (Information Security) to show customers and suppliers
that their data was secure, and to have an auditable system, and
full documentation. ISO27001 is a management system which identifies,
manages and minimizes a range of threats to business information.
It provides guidelines for implementing a constructive risk management
process, setting up policies, and ensuring a secure infrastructure
is in place.
He commented, "With markets like ours, we handle
sensitive information, and wanted to show our customers that the
systems were in place to ensure confidentiality. We are proud to
show our procedures to clients, and to be able to tick the relevant
boxes when tendering for major contracts. It's made a real difference
to our business. And having used IMSM in the past, and liked the
way they worked, we are recommending them to our clients, too".
