Leach has teamed up with fellow Yorkshire firm Blueberry to manufacture and donate PPE to over 30 social care facilities across the region.
With the National Care Association claiming that prices of PPE have been inflated by up to 400%, over 350 visors have been manufactured and donated to care homes and sheltered services by Leach and Leeds-based marketing company Blueberry – with deliveries already well underway.
‘Like many organisations, we’ve had to adapt our business model during these difficult times, while also seeing an opportunity to support essential industries and key workers,’ explained Leach marketing manager Michael Trevethan.
‘We were initially approached by an NHS Trust about our capabilities, and quickly make the decision to produce all PPE equipment at cost. For those firms which remain open – and those reopening in months ahead – we’ve also introduced a range of social distancing graphics to help businesses adjust to life post-lockdown.
‘So far, the response has been fantastic and we’re just glad to be doing our bit and able to make a difference.’
