Company Story
Amvale Medical - Our Story
Amvale Ltd began its journey in 1985, when we identified a critical gap in local transport services particularly for children with disabilities. At the time, support in this area was limited and investment was virtually non-existent. Amvale took its first steps into specialised medical and community-focused transport solutions.
Thanks to our growing reputation across Lincolnshire and Humberside, local hospitals soon approached us to provide Patient Transport Services (PTS). In response, we decided to invest further in this area, and in 1998, Amvale Medical Transport Ltd was formed. It was not long before we became heavily involved in both PTS and Transport for Transplant services, and we are proud to continue providing these vital services to NHS Trusts and hospitals both locally and nationwide.
Over the years, Amvale Medical Transport Ltd has expanded into other areas, including Paramedic Ambulances, Emergency Department Staffing Support, Mental Health Transport, Secure Transport, Patient Bed Watch services, Emergency Medical Teams, Hospital Call Control, Medical Training, Medical Flights, medical provision at entertainment events. We now celebrate more than 25 years of independent business success, and in December 2019, Amvale Medical Transport Ltd further expanded its operations by establishing another ambulance station in Glasgow, trading as Amvale Scotland Ltd.
