Steeper Recap 2025

As we draw 2025 to a close, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued hard work and wonderful year! 2025 has been a year of many highlights and achievements, including contract wins to LPC opening the doors to a brand-new facility in Chessington. Take a look at a couple of our other key highlights of the year:

Excellence in Motion 2.0

In mid-April, over 60 Steeper team members across clinical services, management and production attended the second Excellence in Motion event, aimed to bring people together from across Eqwal to network and share their knowledge. Throughout the three-day educational training event, everyone who attended shared their expertise by participating in several workshops and plenary sessions and attended other sessions lead by teams from across the world.

Steeper and LPC Team Members for BAPO Awards

Steeper Customer Services team member, Rhianna Peterkins, and London Prosthetics Centre Business Manager, Belinda Smart were each shortlisted for an award at this year’s annual BAPO P&O Awards.
Rhianna has been a valued member of the Orthotics Customer Services team for over four years and was nominated for the patient-centric work she does every day from Steeper HQ. Managing communication between varying departments, Rhianna uses her calm and friendly manner to tackle challenges and support her team with a smile.
Belinda was nominated for her exceptional leadership. Her vision, dedication, and patient-first approach were the driving force behind the successful delivery of the London Prosthetics Centre’s new facility earlier this year. Belinda led every stage of the project with determination and care, ensuring the project stayed on schedule and met the highest standards for LPC clients.
Whilst they didn’t take home the awards this time, we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements and impacts they make across Steeper and LPC.

London Prosthetics Centre Opens Its New Facility in Chessington

Back in May, LPC opened its state-of-the-art facility in Chessington, now offering rehabilitation services, including physiotherapy, psychotherapy and musculoskeletal therapies all under one roof. LPC welcomed clients, legal partners, healthcare referrers and industry professionals to an exclusive launch event to open its doors to the new clinic. Read more about the event here.

Contract Win: Kent and Medway Disablement Service Centre

As from 1^st December, Steeper was commissioned by NHS England to provide prosthetic services to the Kent and Medway Disablement Service Centre – marking an important milestone in our long-standing partnership with the NHS. Clinical Services Director, Andrew Nicol, commented, “We are excited to introduce this new kind of service to our portfolio of NHS contracts, encompassing the full scope of prosthetic services for patients. Our team have worked hard to develop an improved service provision for amputees in the Kent and Medway area, including sourcing a new clinic location which will improve clinical and manufacturing facilities. We are committed to supporting patients and staff through this transition and beyond, ultimately providing services that care for all.”

Raising Vital Funds for Bone Cancer Research Trust

Throughout the year, Steeper have continued to raise money for our Charity Partner, Bone Cancer Research Trust in a number of events, including our Makers Market where we encouraged team members to donate their crafted goods and sell amongst their colleagues. After another successful event, we raised over £400!
Behind the scenes, Silicone Technician, Helen Midgley, also raised money for the charity by taking part in a charity skydive! Through kind donations, she raised £820 which will go directly to BCRT. Down in Stanmore, the P&O team also hosted a bake sale and quiz night, where they also made a staggering £419 in donations!

We hope all our customers and team members have a joyous holiday season and a prosperous 2026!
