Garden product supplier provides plastic for NHS visors

Thanks to a donation of plastic from Desch Plantpak a South Durham state-funded technical school for 14-19 year olds has been making visors for the NHS.

 

UTC Durham said: "Thank you so much to Martin Shields and everyone at Desch Plantpak for donating and delivering a huge reel of plastic to help us make more PPE visors! Thanks also go to Sheltee Industrial Mainteneance Ltd for helping us unload the plastic! We’re so grateful for the generosity and support we’ve received from businesses and the wider community as we work towards making visors to donate free-of-charge to the NHS and other key organisations. In just under two weeks, we've made and donated 1500 visors and with these materials and the generous donations we've received, we can keep making visors for those who desperately need them. Thank you!"

 

Kees Waqué, Desch Plantpak B.V. Manager Retail & Marketing said: "Hopefully this battle will be over soon, and (UK) garden centres will re-open, so people can go out again and shop for their well-deserved plants!"
