Lennox, the Irish scientific, industrial and laboratory solutions company, has been awarded the tender for the Provision of Medical/First Aid consumables for Dublin Fire Brigade and Dublin City Council. The three-year tender will see Lennox deliver vital medical supplies to all 15 Dublin Fire Brigade stations on a weekly basis and supply First Aid supplies, as required, to other Dublin City Council departments.

As well as a dedicated online ordering portal, Lennox will also create and deliver a bespoke reporting system called LennoxLIVE. This system will allow Dublin Fire Brigade and Dublin City Council management to see real time dashboards of product orders, by station, at no additional cost. Founded in Dublin in 1923, Lennox employs 60 people across their sites in Dublin and Cork. Over the last three years, Lennox has invested over €2,000,000, increasing warehousing space to over 46,500 square feet with specialist storage facilities, expanding its output capacity and setting up its own logistics fleet.

Commenting on the announcement, Lennox CEO Leslie Brett said: “Lennox was founded in Dublin almost 100 years ago and we are delighted to now be supporting one of our city’s most vital services. Dublin Fire Brigade needed a supplier with the agility, expertise and experience to ensure they have what they need when they need it.”

“Our recent investment in our warehousing, capacity and delivery fleet will ensure Lennox can facilitate the fast turnaround and sufficient stocks needed by Dublin Fire Brigade and can accommodate emergency deliveries 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

Richard Hedderman, Assistant Chief Fire Officer at Dublin Fire Brigade commented: “We are delighted to be working with Lennox to keep our stations, ambulances and front-line staff stocked with a reliable supply of high-quality medical and first aid consumables. Lennox’s demonstrated dedication to customer service, the dedicated reporting and ordering portals and their extensive infrastructure meant that we knew we would be in safe hands. We look forward to building this relationship over the coming months.”
