MARKETING roadshow company Event Marketing Solutions (EMS) has launched a standalone healthcare business to offer temporary accommodation to the NHS.
Ellesmere Port-based EMS-Healthcare LLP will offer its fleet of medical trailers to be used as temporary GP surgeries or mobile treatment wards.
Keith Austin, managing director of EMS and partner in EMS-Healthcare, said: “After two years in the healthcare market, we believe there is great potential to build on our unique temporary accommodation offer through a standalone business.
“One of the major challenges for the new NHS GP consortia as they commission new ways of providing cost-effective community-based care will be the lack of suitable facilities.
“Our high-quality fleet of medical trailers is a proven solution when providers are looking for cost-effective and flexible temporary accommodation.
“We have big ambitions for EMS-Healthcare – to meet those ambitions will require some external investment at a future date.”

The Mersey Partnership’s (TMP) Lorraine Rogers at its South Korea presentation at the London Embassy 300
DEVELOPER Peel Holdings hopes to build on links with prospective investors from South Korea, after a presentation by inward investment agency The Mersey Partnership (TMP) at Liverpool’s London embassy.
The Wednesday event was attended by the Republic of Korea’s Ambassador, His Excellency Mr Kyu Ho Choo, the Korean Trade and Investment Agency (KOTRA) and several world-ranking Korean companies, including car maker Hyundai, electronics giant Samsung and Asiana Airlines.
It followed talks initiated six months ago by TMP.
Peel development director Lindsey Ashworth outlined their £10bn plans for Liverpool and Wirral Waters, and said: “Their interest was such that there will be further meetings over the summer, all to take this to the next stage.”

TMP will now set up visits to the region, said chief executive Lorraine Rogers.

Yet the U.S. job market remains the group’s weakest. U.S. employment bottomed and started growing again a year ago, but there are still 5.4 percent fewer American jobs than in December 2007. That’s a much sharper drop than in any other G-7 country. The U.S. h
