In healthcare environments, every decision matters.
Every product you install.
Every supplier you rely on.
Every promise that’s made about safety, governance, performance and continuity.
You’re responsible not just for equipment — but for patient safety, infection prevention, operational resilience, compliance confidence and the smooth running of complex estates under relentless pressure. So when you choose a supplier, you’re not simply buying “a shower” or “a hose”. You’re investing in reliability, peace of mind and the assurance that nothing will quietly undermine water safety or introduce unnecessary risk.
For almost 20 years, Challis MS (the UK’s Larget Manufacturer of Anti-Microbial Showers) has been proudly supporting NHS Trusts, healthcare providers and high-demand public environments with dependable, high-quality antimicrobial showers and water safety solutions. And as we look forward, we are absolutely determined not to take that trust for granted.
Instead, we want to reaffirm exactly why so many estates and facilities teams continue to partner with Challis MS — and why staying with us remains the most stable, risk-free, value-driven and future-proof choice you can make.
We Don’t Just Supply Products — We Protect Trust
Let’s be honest. Anyone can claim “quality”. Anyone can talk about “service”. 
And anyone can say they “understand healthcare”.
But when it comes to water safety, infection control and estates management, trust isn’t earned through marketing. It’s earned through consistency. Through being there when the world becomes uncertain. Through proving — again and again — that supply will remain steady, standards won’t slip, and support never disappears when things get difficult.
And that’s exactly where Challis MS continues to stand out.
100% UK Manufacturing — Stability, Control and Zero Exposure to Volatile Foreign Supply Chains
One of the most powerful advantages our partners benefit from is this:
We 100% manufacture here in the UK.
That means:
-
Full control over quality and consistency
-
No dependency on unpredictable overseas parts
-
No fragile reliance on volatile geopolitical supply chains
-
No sudden compromises forced by global market shocks
While many suppliers quietly rely on cheaply sourced imported components — particularly hoses, fittings and assemblies from politically unstable or economically risky regions — Challis MS does not.
Your estates team deserves confidence, not crossed fingers. With us, you know where your products come from. You know the standards behind them. And you know we can continue supplying, supporting and safeguarding without disruption.
Supporting UK manufacturing also supports resilience in healthcare infrastructure. It’s a smarter, safer, more responsible choice. And right now, that matters more than ever.
Reliability of Supply You Can Count On — Even When the World Becomes Unpredictable
Think back over the past few years.
Markets have fluctuated.
Logistics systems have been stretched.
Costs have risen.
Lead times in many sectors have become chaotic.
Yet throughout that period, Challis MS continued supplying consistently, reliably and without drama. No panicked “we can’t get parts”. No sudden quality drop. No disappearing support.
Trust is hard earned — and easily lost.
We take pride in the fact that our customers don’t have to worry about whether showers will arrive, filters will be available or replacements can be sourced quickly when needed. Estates teams have enough pressures; supply shouldn’t be one of them.
Genuine Quality and Durability Built for Real Healthcare Environments
Healthcare environments are tough.
High usage.
Constant demand.
No room for failure.
Challis MS antimicrobial showers are engineered specifically for demanding estates environments such as NHS hospitals, healthcare facilities, specialist care settings, rehabilitation units and high-use public buildings.
This isn’t “commodity hardware”. It’s equipment designed to stand up to repeated use, withstand aggressive cleaning regimes, and continue performing without degradation or hidden failure risks.
You don’t want cheap, flimsy, fragile plastic normally associated with model aircraft kits
Durability isn’t just a cost-saving advantage — it’s a clinical safety factor. Fewer failures mean fewer risks, less disruption, fewer emergency replacements and more operational continuity. That’s value you can measure in both financial stability and peace of mind.
Strong Compliance, Governance and Standards You Can Trust
Water safety is a regulated environment — and rightly so. Poor-quality components, weak manufacturing processes or unverified products can introduce hidden risks that estates teams simply cannot afford.
Challis MS operates in line with UK regulatory expectations and robust industry standards. Quality is structured, documented, repeatable and independently validated — not just “assumed”.
Some suppliers simply do not operate under the same governance frameworks. Some do not hold ISO-driven quality credentials. And when suppliers avoid ISO processes, there’s usually a very good reason — and it’s rarely reassuring.
For healthcare estates teams, compliance shouldn’t feel like a gamble. With Challis MS, it never is.
A Meaningful Approach to Sustainability — Not Just Green Words
Sustainability isn’t just a corporate buzzword. For healthcare estates teams, it 
ties directly to:
-
Waste reduction
-
Product lifecycle value
-
Responsible procurement
-
Long-term environmental responsibility
Because Challis MS products are built to last, made in the UK and designed with longevity in mind, they naturally support more sustainable practices. Fewer replacements. Less disposal. Reduced environmental burden. More intelligent lifecycle economics.
Many other manufacturers don’t even have ISO 14001 Sustainability Quality Assurance. The Reason for that is they most likely are not able to achieve the challenging requirements for approval which speaks volumes for thier ability to deliver your environmental targets
With increasing pressure on healthcare to demonstrate greener procurement behaviour, choosing sustainable, UK-made, durable antimicrobial water products simply makes sense.
Service, Support and Partnership — Not Just “Supply and Forget”
One of the most consistent bits of feedback we hear from customers is this:
“You’re not just a supplier — you’re a partner.”
And that’s exactly how we see it.
When you work with Challis MS, you’re supported by knowledgeable people who genuinely understand healthcare estates, infection control challenges, risk management pressures and operational realities.
We don’t just ship products. We help teams plan. We reassure. We respond. We advise. We listen. And we work alongside you rather than standing at a distance.
When estates teams are stretched, when questions arise, when reassurance matters — we’re there. Not as a faceless brand, but as people who care.
Real Value for Money — Because Lowest Cost Is Rarely Lowest Risk
In pressured public environments, it is always tempting to look at headline price.
But every estates professional knows that the cheapest upfront option is often the most expensive long term.
With Challis MS, value for money means:
-
Reduced downtime
-
Fewer failures
-
Extended asset life
-
Predictable performance
-
Reduced risk exposure
-
Stronger long-term return on investment
When you factor in callouts, replacements, compliance risk, administrative burden and operational disruption, “cheap imports” stop looking like savings very quickly.
Value is about confidence, security and performance — and that is exactly what we provide.

Why This Matters More Than Ever Right Now
Many suppliers in this sector rely heavily on imported low-cost components — particularly hoses and fittings sourced from regions that are increasingly exposed to geopolitical instability, transport challenges, manufacturing uncertainty and fluctuating market conditions.
That introduces risk.
Risk to continuity.
Risk to quality.
Risk to compliance.
Risk to patient safety.
Healthcare environments simply cannot afford that kind of vulnerability.
With Challis MS, you remove that worry.
You gain stability.
You gain dependability.
You gain confidence that stock will arrive, quality will hold, performance will be maintained and compliance won’t be jeopardised.
And in today’s climate, that confidence is priceless.
You Deserve a Supplier Who Makes Your Life Easier, Not Harder
Healthcare estates teams work under relentless pressure.
Budgets are tight.
Expectations are high.
Regulation is demanding.
Risks are unforgiving.
The last thing you need is uncertainty in something as fundamental as water safety infrastructure.
We are incredibly proud of the trust so many estates teams place in Challis MS. And we are fully committed to continuing to justify that trust through dependable supply, outstanding quality, resilient UK manufacturing, meaningful service and genuine partnership.
We don’t intend to rest on our laurels. We intend to continue earning your confidence every single day.
