Brian White

We are pleased and proud to announce that MedEquip4Kids Chairman, Brian White, has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2021 in recognition of his services to the community.

After a 27-year career as a chartered accountant partner at Deloitte LLP, Brian now works as a chartered tax adviser. He has been involved with MedEquip4Kids for over 25 years, and for the past 20 of those, he has headed the organisation as our Chairman. Brian is well-known and respected within Manchester’s business community and its Jewish community, and has contributed to numerous other local projects.

MedEquip4Kids Chief Executive, Ghazala Baig, says: “Brian brings such enthusiasm and tireless energy to everything he does. As a charity we have benefited enormously from his leadership, his personal qualities and his impressive network of contacts. I am delighted to hear that his achievements in the field of children’s healthcare have received formal acknowledgement.”

Brian says: “I am humbled and honoured to receive this award. It is a reflection on the great work carried out by MedEquip4Kids over the last 36 years, and a testimony to the equipment they have provided for hospitals and more recently, their mental health provision. I hope that this is the foundation for the charity to grow forward into the future.”

“The specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
