14-vehicle contract from Breast Check Ireland

Breast Check Ireland have awarded a 14-vehicle, multi-million pound contract to WH Bence.
The announcement comes after Bence successfully built two mobile breast screening units for the Irish organisation, whose remit is to support a dramatic expansion in breast screening services throughout the Irish Republic. 
The contract is for 14 mobile units which include reception/waiting areas, staff facilities and the mammography imaging environment.
This contract further strengthens Bence’s position as Europe’s leading designers and manufacturers of mobile breast screening and other diagnostic vehicles, with recent contracts commissioned by Mercury Health (now Care UK) and the NHS.
Bence recently underwent the accreditation process for GE Healthcare for their range of digital mammography equipment. The process involved rigorous testing which included a 5,000 mile road vibration test, as well as subjecting the units to both extremities of the temperature range. The unit had to operate faultlessly in external temperatures of -35 degrees and + 45 degrees Celsius. Success in all areas now makes Bence the only approved European suppliers of trailers for the GE Healthcare range of digital mammography imaging equipment.
