The Waylands Group has defibrillators installed on all its sites.
It is also offering their use to neighbouring businesses and residents, should they find themselves in need of lifesaving first aid equipment in an emergency.
John O’Hanlon, CEO of Waylands, said: “We place strong emphasis on ensuring the first aid training provided to our team members is up to date.
“In addition, we want to show our commitment to ensuring anyone in our local vicinity has access to essential first aid and lifesaving equipment, too.
“If any businesses or residents near one of our sites in Oxford, Reading, Swindon or Newbury should ever find themselves in a situation when defibrillators are needed, we’d like to remind them that ours are readily available.”
Waylands joins other dealer groups, such as Arnold Clark and Pendragon, in installing the equipment on their sites.
Arnold Clark CEO and group MD Eddie Hawthorne said: “Hundreds of people visit Arnold Clark every day, our employees, our customers, our suppliers, our manufacturers and just general visitors to our sites.
So we are taking a stand in our local community to make sure we provide a service that’s valuable – and that’s to make sure there’s a defib machine in our garages. Even when we are closed, there are still 21 external defibs available to the wider community.”
