Who We Are

Founded out of necessity, Beechfield Healthcare was born to solve the product sourcing struggles of nursing homes. Quickly outgrowing its roots, Beechfield made a name by delivering top-tier mobility, manual handling, and rehab equipment across Ireland.

The company was acquired by Trevor Flanagan in a management buy-out.  Trevor had worked for Beechfield Healthcare since 2002 as a product specialist, developing business across the country.
