In response, our production sites within the UK have gone, overnight, from making a small number of ventilator hoses throughout the year to producing 8,000 units in under two weeks.
Across the businesses we had to take a number of steps to ensure we could hit the demands set by the UK Government. This included our in-house fabrication room producing 36 four-way multicavity tools in less than a week, with each of the 8000 hoses then being hand built, cut to size and inspected to ensure they were of the absolute highest quality and standards for their intended vital lifesaving needs.
