Christmas party at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club
After a record year for business growth at The Rodnight Partnership we were pleased to be able to reward the team and a group of our supporters at a Christmas party in London. Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in Soho was the venue, as in past years, and a great time was had by all. Some sore heads the following day!
Medical Fair Thailand
Our Managing Director, Martin Rodnight, attended the Medical Fair Thailand show this week, at the BITEC in Bangkok. A good opportunity to meet with existing distributors, as well as holding meetings with interested parties for the BiliHut phototherapy unit, and the MiraCradle neonatal cooling device, both of which have great potential in the region.
We also took the opportunity to have a meeting of Prima Medical management, with Sales Director Tom Brooke in attendance, and regional manager John Linebaugh.
WarriorNP and the ArcAngel added to The Rodnight Partnership range of neonatal products
Hot on the heels of our agreement with the MiraCradle cooling device, we are delighted to announce another company for the Rodnight Partnership neonatal portfolio. WarriorNP, based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, are manufacturers of the ArcAngel endotracheal tube holder. Invented by nurse practitioner, Jessica Harnish, ArcAngel is a secure, adjustable, multi-functional neonatal and paediatric endotracheal tube holder that eliminates tape and increases tube placement accuracy. This is a great fit for The Rodnight Partnership, given our huge network of distributors and key opinion leaders in this field. We will be working with WarriorNP to help them grow sales throughout Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia and will be showing the products at the Medica and Arab Health exhibitions.
Neonatal Cooling
We are pleased to announce a partnership with Pluss Advanced Technologies Ltd., manufacturers of the MiraCradle® and based in the suburbs of New Delhi.
The MiraCradle® neonatal cooler is an affordable passive cooling device that uses advanced savE® phase change material (PCM) technology to induce therapeutic hypothermia among newborns suffering from birth asphyxia. MiraCradle® can bring the much-needed hypothermic therapy to neonates without the need for electricity at a fraction of the price as compared to alternate methods.
Commenting on the arrangement, Udit Mangal, Vice President & Business Head-Lifesciences, Pluss Advanced Technologies, said: “We are delighted to partner with The Rodnight Partnership which will further drive the market penetration of the life-saving technology of this product throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Their knowledge of the neonatal market and the relevant channels will allow us to vastly increase the speed with which we can serve these markets with high need potential.”
Martin Rodnight, Managing Director of The Rodnight Partnership said: “We are very much looking forward to working with Pluss Advanced Technologies and growing their international business. The MiraCradle® is a perfect fit for our product range as we develop our neonatal presence in the market.”
Arab Health bigger and busier then ever!
A terrific week at Arab Health, Dubai. Easily the most successful show ever for The Rodnight Partnership. We had a great position and benefited from continuous footfall. There was huge interest for the BiliHut products from Little Sparrows Technologies, drawing customers to the stand. Significant leads were taken by all of our clients, Bionix, Elers Medical and Prima Medical. We were also pleased to host Marsden Weighing, EPMC Pharma and the ATC BabyPod as guests.
We’re already signed up for next year!
Little Sparrows Technologies
We are delighted to welcome a new client to the Rodnight Partnership team. Little Sparrows Technologies, based in Newton MA, USA, manufacture a range of baby friendly jaundice solutions, including the BiliHut phototherapy unit and the BiliRuler jaundice measurement device. The Rodnight Partnership will take responsibility for the development of sales channels throughout the Middle East and Africa. Commenting on the arrangement Little Sparrows CEO Donna Brezinski said “We know we have a quality product range and that there is a huge demand for our products overseas. This arrangement with The Rodnight Partnership will allow us to grow our export markets at a far greater speed than we would be capable of on our own.”
Martin Rodnight, Managing Director at The Rodnight Partnership commented: “ We are very excited about this opportunity, especially since it fits in so well with our other neonatal product offerings. We very much look forward to working with the team at Little Sparrows, particularly at the Middle East launch, which will take place during Arab Health, in Dubai at the end of January.”
Christmas Party
A great time was had by the Rodnight team at our Christmas Party. Drinks at The Dog and Duck in Bateman Street, Soho, followed by a long lunch at the world famous Ronnie Scott’s jazz club. As well as the usual team, we were pleased to welcome guests Ambrose McGinn, CEO of Westbrook, and Tony Woolley, long time supporter of the Rodnight Partnership.
Huge success for Rodnight clients at Medica 2022
Following on from a very successful few days at Africa Health in Johannesburg in October, it was good to be back at a fully functioning Medica in Dusseldorf in November. The Rodnight Partnership stand was extremely busy throughout the whole four days. Particularly pleased with the outcome was our new client, Little Sparrows, makers of the BiliHut neonatal photo therapy device. Their first visit to a show outside of the USA resulted in them gaining over 50 strong leads for distribution worldwide. Prima Medical also had a very good week, meeting with both existing and potential distributors, all of whom were excited to see the new plume evacuation devices.
Another new addition to the Rodnight client list is the Redditch based company NeoKare, makers of PHBM, pasteurised human breast milk and MMF, mothers milk fortifier. Following on from a successful promotion at Africa Health in October, NeoKare had an equally successful showing at Medica, gaining leads from many European and Middle Eastern countries.
This success just goes to show the benefits of exhibiting with The Rodnight Partnership, benefiting from increased footfall and cross fertilisation between exhibitors. Now we start the process of preparing for Arab Health, Dubai, in January, where we will have an even bigger stand.
Rodnight partners with SehaMed
The Rodnight Partnership is delighted to announce a partnership with the SehaMed Marketplace, which will allow us to mutually grow our distributor and manufacturer networks. Founded in 2017, The SehaMed Marketplace is an online digital platform connecting manufacturers from the USA and Europe with quality, high performing distributors throughout the world. At The Rodnight Partnership we know how hard it can be to get the right matches between distributor and manufacturer, so the SehaMed platform will be a great tool for our clients, past, present and future. Rodnight clients will be able to benefit from a personalised service with SehaMed, whilst Rodnight distributors will be able to register with SehaMed and see a whole range of new products and opportunities.
EBME Exhibition, Coventry
Managing Director, Martin Rodnight, visited the EBME exhibition in Coventry for market research and networking on behalf of a number of clients. Great opportunity to make some new contacts as well as meeting up with old friends. One such was Richard Walters, of Walters Medical, one of the best national distributors in the UK. Great to see his business growing so well.
