Nantwich international award\u2014winning accessibility consultancy Direct Access has appointed Lee Searle as Director of Sales and Marketing for its new products division.<\/p>\n

Lee brings more than 15 years international leadership experience in the disability evacuation market.<\/p>\n

Starting with the Fire Protection Association and working with manufacturers and end users in the fire market, Lee identified the need for a much great awareness of egress for mobility impaired people.<\/p>\n

Working with evacuation customers all over the world Lee has developed a complete understanding of the situations mobility impaired people face every day, and how best to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n

Moving to Direct Access was a perfect fit for Lee as the two mission goals for the company were inclusion for all and safety always.<\/p>\n

As organisations increase their focus on accessibility, the need for better solutions for egress were never more important.<\/p>\n

With full responsibility for the leadership and development of Direct Access\u2019 new products division, Lee will develop, alongside carefully selected manufacturing partners, a portfolio of ancillary equipment designed by disabled people in response to requests for a one-stop solution by Direct Access\u2019 clients.<\/p>\n

Steven Mifsud, (pictured<\/em>) founder and Director of Direct Access, said: “Lee\u2019s track record and international experience in evacuation and egress dovetails with Direct Access\u2019 historic ingress focus.<\/p>\n

“His contacts in the sector are second to none and we are delighted to have him on board.<\/p>\n

“It is a clear endorsement of our ambitions to create truly inclusive environments.<\/p>\n

“We have exciting plans for the future as the country comes out of the pandemic and places open up once again.<\/p>\n

“We have been the Department for International Trade\u2019s Export Champion last year and continue to export British expertise to the Middle East and North America.”<\/p>\n

Lee Searle added: “Direct Access<\/a> has a deserved reputation for 16 years of delivering high quality accessibility consultancy services with a diverse team of disabled people.<\/p>\n

“The sectors they work reflect this quality with high profile clients including Avanti West Coast, the Science Museum Group, Hertfordshire County Council, Causeway Coast & Glens in Northern Ireland as well as the world exposition, Expo 2020 Dubai.<\/p>\n

“We are in an excellent position to diversify our work to further support clients to be inclusive.<\/p>\n

“I have followed Direct Access\u2019 work for several years and am excited to be part of the team at the next stage of their growth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
