“We’re all incredibly thankful to the frontline NHS staff for their tireless efforts fighting Covid-19, and, as an organisation, we wanted to be able to help however we could. The research and development work we do at the NCC requires our engineers to wear quality PPE, and we knew that, at this time, our stock would be put to better use helping to protect the amazing medical keyworkers across the region who are working so hard to protect us all,” Richard Hooper, director of engineering and manufacturing at the NCC said in a press release.
