Our blogBOOK YOUR 45min consultation with stoma nurse
Do you have a stoma?
Are you still in touch with your stoma nurse?
Many people tend to lose touch with their nurse after surgery and then try to get on with life as best they can. You may find that as life goes on with a stoma you start to experience difficulties you never even thought to ask your nurse about way back when you had the surgery. Many people learn to put up with small issues, such as minor discomforts through things like skin problems, hernias or leaks to name but a few. You may be using outdated products and not even know it. There have been many new developments in the world of ostomy care and we’d like to help you keep in touch.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with some specialist stoma care nurses from Coloplast to run our free stoma care clinics here at Comfizz HQ in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Everyone is welcome for a 45 minute one to one private appointment with the nurse to ask any questions, learn about the latest products and get up to date advice.
Plus if you’re interested while you’re here you can have a fitting and check out the whole of Comfizz support wear range. You’ll receive a warm welcome and of course a Yorkshire brew. So don’t be shy, come and see us and have a chat.
To check availability and book your free appointment call 0113 266 2096.
Baroness Karen Brady from the TV show ‘The Apprentice’ gave us some inspirational business advice.
We were lucky enough to be able to meet Karen and learn some golden business gems that we’ll be taking away and applying to Comfizz. She is a formidable lady who is an English sporting executive, politician, television personality, newspaper columnist, author and novelist. Spending time in the company of successful people is a great way to elevate your own aspirations, so thank you, Karen, for your valuable time.
Learning from the best with Sir Clive Woodward…
Lorraine spent the day in Birmingham learning so many valuable life and business lessons from the Rugby World Cup Winning Head Coach, Team GB Director of Sport, London 2012 Sir Clive Woodward OBE. This was a special day set up by the Entrepreneurs Circle, of which Lorraine is a member. Lorraine says “I love to learn all the time, my husband Nozar named me Sponge as I’m always soaking up new information, always reading and going on courses. I believe there is so much for us to know in life and learning keeps me alert and vibrant in my life. It was fascinating to hear Sir Clive’s coaching methods and how they actually relate very closely to business and leading a team. Here at Comfizz we are trying to provide world class products through a world-class service, so I’m learning how to cultivate a world-class team to help me deliver on this”

Support wear company Comfizz Ltd is celebrating after picking up a prestigious award at the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) annual awards dinner, held at the Tower Hotel in London 1st Dec 2011. The BHTA represents over 450 company members, many of which are the largest and most influential in the healthcare industry.

Over 250 of the leading figures in the healthcare industry attended the event, which saw awards being presented in recognition of outstanding product design, customer service and team performance
Comfizz entry was for their stoma support wear range, levels 1, 2 & 3, which includes junior products.
Ray Hodgkinson, Director General of the BHTA, congratulated the team at Comfizz and commented that the award was richly deserved. “The awards we present each year are given only after a rigorous process involving a panel of judges and the winners represent excellence in what is an important and growing marketplace. This is one of the fastest growing and most important market sectors and one in which excellence in product design and customer service really does mean a great deal to the customers, many of whom rely on our member companies to maintain their independence.”
Lorraine & Nozar company owners added: “Being presented with the award, particularly in front of so many members of the industry, was a real achievement and reflects the hard work by everyone throughout the company. The BHTA is a very well known trade association, involved at the heart of the marketplace in which we do business and so to be recognised in this way will help us greatly in the future and will no doubt raise our profile a good deal, both to the professionals who deal with us and the customers who use our products. We are passionate about helping people with a stoma overcome some of their difficulties and are planning to expand the range even further next year to meet the needs of those with a hernia, post surgical wounds and continence issues. It might not be a glamorous field of business but it is extremely rewarding to see the difference our products can make to peoples lives”
