Where The Trade Buys Aids Production of Face Masks to Support NHS Amid Covid-19 Pandemic

Where The Trade Buys, one of the UK’s leading printing companies, has teamed up with Prime Group to produce face masks for NHS essential workers in the fight against Covid-19.

The rising death toll in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an urgent call for more resources and additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and we have answered the call.

Where The Trade Buys has committed to make 15,000 units per day while Prime Group, a Nottinghamshire-based digital printing specialist, is targeting a production of 10,000 visors daily to bring the total units delivered to more than 500,000 units per month.

Gary Peeling, Chief Executive Officer, at Where The Trade Buys, said: “PPE is a clear issue in the UK, not just distribution but local supply. Rather than waiting on containers from the far east, up and down the country are factories that can repurpose their output to solve the problem locally.
“We were delighted to partner with Prime Group and Pro Co on this project and encourage other print companies around the world by sharing the technical drawings. Globalisation brought this crisis to our door in weeks and collaboration can see it safely in short order.”

Mr Peeling added: “There are half a million NHS front line workers that need PPE each and every day and a similar number in other care sectors, possibly for the next three to four months. The cooperative is subsidising prices to the NHS to cost level from revenue generated for visor sales to the private sector and corporates”

Where The Trade Buys has also contributed 50 magnetic car stickers to NHS workers to give them some grace to park up anywhere they need to and move freely to their place of work without query or question.
