Colin McKinney, BES Ireland’s Business Development Manager, adds: “We have been delighted to enhance our product range with the Chunc offering, particularly as they share our  very customer-focused approach.

“Chunc is also a natural fit as their range of highly adaptable wheelchair bases and seating systems enables us to continue enriching our customers’ lives. The fact that we can easily accommodate the changing needs of the user is a game-changer.”

Chunc has recently introduced XL sizing to make it even easier for customers to continue using their chairs into their thirties and beyond.  The Chunc one, Hilo Outdoor and Chunc Adapt are all crash-tested in line with ISO 7176-19 which means customers can stay in their chairs whilst travelling in a wheelchair accessible vehicle. 

Chunc is a family-run business that was created when the Smith family could not find a suitable wheelchair for their daughter, who was born severely disabled and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. With a background in designing and manufacturing products for the aerospace industry, the family set out to revolutionise the functionality, styling and user-friendliness of children’s wheelchairs.  

BES Healthcare has been a trusted supplier to the UK healthcare market with assistive technology and infection prevention solutions for over 30 years. With a reputation for delivering high levels of customer care and satisfaction, it works closely with the BHTA and ISO to ensure industry standards are met.
