Leading central heating, electric and renewables business Saltire Facilities Management has handed a lifeline to communities across Edinburgh with the donation and installation of defibrillators as part of their commitment to the community.
Saltire, who are currently delivering a multi-year heating service and repair contract for The City of Edinburgh Council, commit to delivering additional benefits for the communities served by their contracts. As part of the service and repair contract, which Saltire have successfully delivered since 2020, the Lanrakshire-based company has purchased and installed four life-saving defibrillators at sites across the Capital.
Engineers at Saltire have already installed defibrillators at Inch Park Nursery, and sheltered housing complexes in Kirkliston, Coillesdene and Chesser. The devices will greatly improve survival odds and reduce time taken to receive treatment for anyone suffering from a cardiac emergency.
Speaking of the donation of defibrillators Saltire Managing Director Alan Murray commented; “As part of our public tender document we commit to deliver various community benefits, however, as a business we are only too happy to oblige. We are delighted to work with the team at Edinburgh City Council to deliver the defibrillators and put life-saving equipment in the hands of local people.”
