MFT Imaging divisional director Catherine Walsh said: “Demand for our imaging services is increasing by 5 to 10% every year, yet we’ve had to reduce our throughput to deal safely with Covid-19.

“This new relationship gives us the confidence that we’ll be able to continue to invest in the latest technology with the flexibility to adapt it to our needs, now and into the future. All associated factors such as maintenance and budgeting are taken care of.”

Through this long-term partnership, MFT will also benefit from financial planning security over the life of the contract and increase technology fleet availability.
