Read Full ArticleKnight Frank has partnered with health-tech company Kitt Medical to equip its UK client portfolio with its award-winning Anaphylaxis Kitt.
Starting in Newcastle, Knight Frank Promise, the facilities management subsidiary of Knight Frank, has signed up over 30 buildings and estates on behalf of their clients, helping to ensure that people are protected in the event of an allergy emergency.
Anaphylaxis can occur when someone is exposed to an allergen (food or other substances) and the body’s immune system wrongly identifies it as a threat. It is a serious and often sudden reaction which requires emergency treatment. Adrenaline acts quickly to reverse the symptoms of anaphylaxis, and it needs to be given as soon as possible when there are any signs of a serious allergic reaction.
The Anaphylaxis Kitt includes a subscription supply of adrenaline pens, CPD-accredited online training for staff, incident reporting and compliance software, and a secure, visible cabinet for rapid access.
Kitt Medical has installed over 1,500 Anaphylaxis Kitts since its launch in February 2023. The company has also secured investment on BBC’s Dragons’ Den from Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett.
Ian Tew, Head of Knight Frank’s Newcastle office said: “This partnership reflects Knight Frank’s core value of putting people first. By investing in Kitt Medical’s life-saving solution, we are not only safeguarding the wellbeing of our colleagues and communities but also working to make allergy emergency care as common and accessible as defibrillators.
“This is more than a health initiative - it’s a commitment to safety, compassion, and putting people at the heart of everything we do.”
