Burtons Medical Equipment has been manufacturing, distributing and servicing a complete range of veterinary equipment since the company was founded by Fred Burton in 1981

Now run by Fred’s son, David Burton, it has remained a company with family at its heart, keeping the core values of animal welfare & customer satisfaction a top priority, without being affected by year on year expansions.

Starting out as a small company in Maidstone, Burtons began as a broad supplier and servicing company to private NHS hospitals & veterinary practices. The constant connection to vets and customer requests made it clear that the veterinary market would soon become the main focus, and there began Burtons Manufacturing. Starting with autoclave spare parts & leading to production of stainless steel tables & anaesthesia machines that are still market leading products to this day.

Our extensive range of veterinary equipment and services now cover everything from anaesthesia to x-ray, with the help of more business acquisitions year on year. 

‘Think of an idea in the morning, get it designed by lunchtime, and have a working prototype before going home’

Approximately 50% of our products are still manufactured at Burtons HQ in Marden. Which now boasts an extensive range of capabilities including; CAD design, CNC machining, laser cutting, fabrication, wood shop, paint shop, full assembly & testing.

Our sales and service teams, workshop technicians, office administration staff and managers are on hand to help you with any enquiries you may have and are dedicated to providing great quality service to all customers, no matter the requirements.

Although still focused on the veterinary sector, Burtons have diversified into allied areas such as vehicle conversions for canine transportation & animal ambulances to grooming equipment and aquatic systems.

Our History

It’s in 1982 that everything begins. Back to when Serge Lachapelle was a professional in a multinational specialized in anesthesia equipment, something clicked for him. Why not use his expertise in the human field to refine veterinary equipment, adapt to their needs and maximize their performance? Here. It was enough for Dispomed to see the light of day.

Building on its successes, Dispomed is rapidly expanding its horizons and developing new products. Our mission: offer high-end equipment ergonomically designed to facilitate your work and offer you comprehensive solutions. Since then, we have continued to surprise in the veterinary field with our innovative products, our service, our knowledge of the market and the expertise of our team.

Today, Dispomed is increasingly recognized internationally. Whether in private veterinary clinics, research centers, zoos, the reputation of our family business is well established. Dispomed has carved out a place of choice on every continent. 

Moreover, many university faculties only preach by our products. Dispomed is THE reference from the University of Montreal to the University of Lyon, through those of Oregon, Kansas, Minnesota, Florida, and Toulouse, to name a few.

This reputation, Dispomed owes it to the attention paid to the quality of our veterinary equipment, which 90% of the components are manufactured at the Joliette plant. The close relationship with you, our customers, also allows us to develop products that are reliable, effective, durable and above all easy to use.

Thanks to you, dear customers, who accompanied us in our first steps, Dispomed can now have an international reputation.

Dispomed, the veterinary solution.

Vodafone gives full control to Veterinary Practices across Europe with new Business Evolve flexible mobile plans

With Business Evolve, small and medium-sized practices get more choice in one complete plan than ever before.

Vodafone has launched Business Evolve – a new set of flexible mobile plans for small and medium-sized businesses (10 –150 employees), offering more choice in one complete plan than ever before.

Business Evolve is the latest plan launched by Vodafone to address the challenges faced specifically by SMEs in the UK today.

Business Evolve enables business customers to tailor their mobile plans, ensuring they only pay for what they need.

• Choose how you use data – select from individual data bundles or share a data pool across your business.
• Choose how you buy devices – spread the cost of your devices over the term of the contract or set up a tech fund to dip into whenever a new device is needed.
• Add new lines when needed – ensure you can grow as your business grows.
• Add or take away extra data bundles – be flexible as your situation changes.
• Choose from 12-month, 24-month and 36-month options – choose the payment plan that fits your needs.
• Choose inclusive international minutes – essential for keeping in touch with your customers and suppliers while travel remains so limited.

Business Evolve’s Data+ feature also ensures businesses never need to worry about running out of data in the UK or Europe – if the allowance is exceeded, you can remain online with data speeds up to 2Mbps.

There are four 5G-ready plans available on Business Evolve which all include unlimited voice calls and texts in the UK:

• Business Voice – includes unlimited calls and texts for only £10 a month.
• Business Starter – includes unlimited calls and texts, MMS and a choice of 2GB, 6GB, 12GB or 25GB of data, starting at just £15 a month.
• Business Pro – receive unlimited data, calls and texts for only £25 a month.
• Business Data – data-only plans, with an allowance that can then be pooled across your team so additional data is always readily available should you require it, starting at £17.50 a month.

Anne Sheehan, Business Director, Vodafone UK said: “We have designed Business Evolve specifically for SMEs, giving them as much flexibility and control over their mobile plans as possible. We know SMEs are having to rapidly adapt their ways of working thanks to the pandemic and the rise in remote working. And we know the future is uncertain. These plans give them the flexibility to adapt to whatever’s next.”

To take advantage of a Vodafone Business Evolve plan for your small or medium-sized business, contact Vodafone directly over the phone or visit the Vodafone UK website for further details.

1.       Purr-fectly placed brand colours

If you’re looking to create a stand-out veterinary clinic interior that makes visitors feel welcome and at ease, try to steer away from an overly white and clinical space. Introducing colour can make your space feel more welcoming, friendly and positive.

As a starting point, featuring your brand colours throughout your interior not only enhances your brand identity, but can help you shape an environment that helps to put visitors as ease as they walk through your doors.

2.       Soft fur-nishings

In an attempt to minimise a clinical appearance even further, soft touches in the form of furnishings can also help. Being comfortable physically helps people to feel more comfortable mentally. And you know what they say, happy owner, happy pet!

Consider cushions to soften seating benches, and opt for comfortable chairs that are practical but less formal than your typical waiting room furniture.  

3.       Feature natural materials

Balance your sterile environment with softer, natural materials, such as wood. This really helps to warm a space and help to comfort visitors. There are various ways to introduce these materials into your vet clinic interior, such as through the furniture and furnishings you feature.

For example, a feature reception desk made of wood can instantly go against the norm of a clinical veterinary interior whilst offering a statement design feature!

4.       A professional interior reflects professional services

In addition to creating a vet clinic interior that oozes friendliness and approachability, it’s important to still reflect your professional nature as a veterinary practice. A professional interiors positions your clinic as a professional business, and can help with customers trusting you to look after their pets. Your interior design speaks volumes about your services, so it’s important that it reflects them accurately. You can reflect professionalism through the finish and quality of your interior.

5.       Have some fun!

Another way to help comfort your visitors is to introduce some fun, light-hearted elements. Show the personality of your practice!

Okay, so humour might be wasted on four-legged friends, but it can certainly help to benefit your human customers. Fun wall signs or artwork can add some personality to your space and help put your customer’s mind at ease.

It’s time to un-leash the potential of your veterinary clinic interior to not only position yourself ahead of the competition, but create a loyal customer base of pet-owners who trust you to look after their animals.

The truth is, it’s hard to find the time to focus on your interior whilst you’re busy saving the day. We can become an extension of your practice as a trustworthy design and build company able to shape your interior into a professional, friendly and industry-leading clinic.
