title: A cool head ensures smooth MRI delivery.
abstract: Pioneering "state-of-the-art mobile" diagnostic technology, Cobalt claims its mobile MRI service is among the world's most sophisticated charity-run operations of its kind. However, with its fleet of units constantly deployed at, or moving between, hospitals across the South West of England and Wales, the charity faces a potential logistical nightmare. Here, Andy Downton, co-owner and MD of the company's logistics provider, Downton, describes the critical strategic planning and estates expertise fundamental to the success of this "unique service".
