Practikal UK is now owned by the HM Group of companies and is a registered brand used to represent new and innovative products the group introduces to the retail market. The Practikal Handle is an award winning product line also marketed as branded shopping bag handles. The product was quickly taken up by the healthcare market and has since crossed over into several market sectors enabling a worldwide &＃39;mass market&＃39; appeal and demand for the product. The product is manufactured exclusively in the NW UK to ISO9001 and is packed by workers with disabilities in the UK. The initial product has opened direct supply agreements with numerous PLC retail groups / chains and the core product&＃39;s success has acquired invitation by many of the PLC customers to offer brand and product range additions. Practikal UK is now seeking joint ventures and product suppliers to widen this range invitation.
