RICHMOND VILLAGES MAKES STRATEGIC DECISION TO CONTRACT WITH POWERCALL UK
Aware its luxury retirement communities could suffer powercuts from troublesome power supplies, Richmond Villages, part of the Barchester Group, has contracted with power-support company, shentongroup’s Powercall UK for provision of its unique generator callout service for its villages in Nantwich, Coventry, Northampton and Painswick.
Looking for a cost-effective solution to providing standby power should a protracted powercut occur, Facilities Manager, John Cashmore, investigated the options.

“There‘s no payback on a standby generator and asset depreciation affects a company’s bottom line”, said John Cashmore. “We therefore made a strategic decision to contract with Powercall UK, which provides us with a sensible, well-balanced approach to potential power outages whilst ensuring the safety and security of our residents, especially those requiring nursing care”.

Richmond Villages’ four retirement villages, together with its facility in South Oxfordshire, are being covered by Powercall UK’s unique service. This enables the villages to high levels of care to their residents when the electricity supply is cut, regardless of the length of the power outage.

“Powercall UK’s service meets all our requirements by guaranteeing we have a generator in situ and connected up within a target time of 1 hour and guaranteed maximum of 3 hours”, concluded John Cashmore.
