Q’STRAINT/Sure-Lok announces winner of inaugural Q’MANITARIAN Award

Q’STRAINT/Sure-Lok announced Dan Allison as the winner of the company’s inaugural Q’MANITARIAN Award.

"At Q'STRAINT, we believe it takes a special type of person to work in the transportation safety industry," said Patrick Girardin, Q'STRAINT president. "Someone who not only demonstrates extraordinary dedication and devotion to their profession, but also compassion - a real humanitarian or what we call a Q'MANITARIAN."

Allison, a Certified Driving Rehab Specialist and former president of the Association for Driver Rehab Specialists, ably fits the profile of a Q'MANITARIAN, according to the company. He works with mobility passengers to train them on how to safely and properly operate or ride in a vehicle with their mobility device, allowing them the same level of safety and accessibility as those around them.

"I am deeply honored to have received the Q'MANITARIAN award, especially from a company that I hold such a high opinion of and deeply respect," Allison said. "I am also a strong proponent of the Q'STRAINT product-line which I find to be not only robust but exceptionally easy to use and their performance and durability are second to none."

For more than 30 years, Q'STRAINT says it has observed remarkable efforts by transportation industry professionals and created this award to honor and celebrate their efforts within their field. The Q'MANITARIAN Award recognizes Allison’s success in the personal mobility industry and his ability to provide highly individualized training for mobility device passengers seeking to drive or ride in a vehicle for the first time.

As the winner of the Q'MANITARIAN award, he will be presented with two commemorative plaques.
