Ruth Lee Ltd.’s Managing Director, Paul McDonnell said, “We are absolutely thrilled and proud that we have been successful in winning the King’s Award for Enterprise; indicating that the Pool Rescue manikin is considered to be an outstanding innovation. Drowning prevention and the role that effective water rescue has to play in this is a core foundation of our business.
We know that the Pool Rescue manikin is helping to create a new generation of skilled lifeguards, who are confident in their ability to retrieve a casualty from the bottom of a pool and recover them to the poolside quickly and efficiently. As well as helping to improve the skills of lifeguards, we also know that in some countries the manikin is used as an important tool in community engagement for delivering important water safety programmes.
Innovation is a crucial part of our business, and we are 100% committed to challenging and improving training practises – we have several exciting products in the pipeline and Ruth Lee is helping customers to create the best training possible.”
Pool Rescue Manikins are being used by an estimated 8,000-10,000 lifeguards in 25 countries around the globe to improve their lifesaving skills.
