A Big Thank you to our Amazing PPE Plastic Production!!
We need to thank our amazing heroes on the front line of the fight against Covid-19, says Nailsworth Chamber of Trade.
And we also need to thank the fantastic volunteers who are currently working tirelessly to supply them with personal protective equipment (PPE), including full-face visors – the specialist face protection worn by surgeons, nurses, doctors and other NHS and care staff.
“We’ve been so moved and impressed by our team of volunteers, who are currently working flat out using 3D-printing to produce full face visors, this is protective equipment for care homes, surgeries, care workers – in fact, anyone needing protective equipment,” the chamber, organises and part-funds Nailsworth Scrubs for Heroes.
“Our initial aim was to cover local needs; but we’re now supplying throughout the whole county.
To date, we have fulfilled requests from as far afield as Cheltenham and Cirencester. And requests keep on coming in.”
In its first four weeks, Nailsworth Scrubs for Heroes – which includes the specialist visor-section, Nailsworth Scrub Hub – delivered:
- 500 visors;
- And ordered 1,600 visors to be made over the next 20 weeks.
Each piece of PPE carries a Nailsworth Scrub Hub logo for quality and traceability.
