A distributor of plumbing and allied products has stepped in to donate hundreds of items of PPE stocks to support healthcare professionals.
Mark Vitow has delivered more than 500 face masks to residential and nursing homes and care providers across the UK.
The company made the donation through the website www.findthemasks.com/uk/ which is led by a global team of volunteers who are working to build a comprehensive database of PPE needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UK lead Drew Hunt said: “We are so pleased to see Mark Vitow Ltd find our site so soon after our launch. Since then, they have made several donations to locations currently listed on FindTheMasks. It is great to see so many businesses making a fantastic effort in supporting those frontline workers who are facing difficulties with sourcing PPE, and it has been truly humbling to see so many people coming together to support those in need.”
“It has been a challenging time for individuals and businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic but we are proud to have been able to safely continue our operations thanks to the strength of our staff and partnerships with suppliers and customers alike,” said Rachel Pead, operations director at Mark Vitow. “We continue to support the key workers in our industry and are glad to have played a very small part in providing PPE to the heroes providing crucial care to those in need during these unprecedented times.”
