This contract adds to CIPHER’s impressive and growing portfolio of clients who seek to obtain top class medical provision at their events during the 2019 season.
As sole event medical provider at all 12 of Tough Mudder’s events, in diverse locations such as London, the South West and Scotland, CIPHER Medical will be on hand to provide expert medical care to competitors by providing highly trained doctors, paramedics, nurses and first aiders.
Utilising static field hospitals and its fleet of all-terrain vehicles, road ambulances and cycle response units, competitors can be assured of a swift and professional response in the rare event that the need arises due to illness or injury during the event.
“We are really excited to be working with CIPHER medical. The CIPHER team brings with them a wealth of experience and knowledge and will be working closely with us to provide top class medical cover at our events. CIPHER are an innovative and exciting company that allows Tough Mudder to adapt quickly to change while also ensuring the safety of our participants.” Liz Fisher, European Operations Director, Tough Mudder.
Founded in 2010 with the launch of the Tough Mudder obstacle course event series, Tough Mudder Inc. has become a leading global sport, active lifestyle and media brand. With more than 3 million participants, the company hosts more than 100 non-competitive (Mini Mudder; Tough Mudder 5K, Tough Mudder Classic) and competitive (Tougher, Toughest, Tough Mudder X and World’s Toughest Mudder) events annually in 11 countries.
Andy Thomas, Managing Director of CIPHER Medical said, “To be working with a distinguished client such as Tough Mudder is excellent news for both the company and great news for the North East. After leaving the Royal Air Force 3 years ago and setting up CIPHER medical, it’s great to be putting the skills and leadership tools learned on deployed operations such as Afghanistan to event medical care. This small company has grown rapidly over the past few years and we are very proud to be working with Tough Mudder. It is a testament to our team of predominantly North East Based professionals and clinical staff that allow us to deliver high standards of care and innovative event solutions. We look forward to the 2019 season and sending teams of up to 50 people and numerous vehicles to events at locations all around the UK. Our vast experience at attending events such as the Indoor Athletics Championship in Birmingham, the Tall Ships in Liverpool, plus hundreds of other events coupled with our significant investment in kit and equipment means we will deliver the highest standards of event medical care to Tough Mudder and other clients.”
