National Seating & Mobility (NSM) has expanded again by opening a new branch office in Calgary, Alberta.

In a March 2 news announcement, NSM said the new office will be headed by Jim Frid, RRTS, a Complex Rehab Technology veteran who will serve as branch and sales manager.

Rick Nori, NSM Canada’s VP of Operations, said in the announcement, “Strategically growing our footprint allows us to ensure more people have access to the most advanced mobility and access solutions available. We are proud to welcome Jim to the NSM team and look forward to supporting his branch in assisting individuals in and around the Calgary area in their pursuit of greater independence.”

The announcement said the new branch “will prioritize clients and high-quality service, providing a wide range of mobility solutions designed to support greater independence. Frid and his team will also emphasize education, ensuring clients, caregivers and healthcare providers understand the value of CRT equipment and their options.”

Frid began working in the CRT industry in 1997.

“I came into this profession not knowing how it would change my life and how rewarding I would find this work,” Frid said in the announcement. “I look forward to working with NSM and being part of the framework and challenge of starting our newest location in Calgary.”

NSM currently has 23 offices in Canada, and more than 190 offices total in North America.
