Herbert Parkinson: providing gowns to the NHS during Covid

With the factory doors closed to normal operations due to the Coronavirus crisis. Partners at Herbert Parkinson decided that they wanted to do their bit to make a difference and help our NHS heroes.

Despite being a new product for the team, on the first day Partners managed to sew 160 gowns, a number which will rise to 400 a day when the full team are present.

In an interview with The Gazette, Julie Toplis, Production Manager at Herbert Parkinson said: ” “Talking to partners about how they feel is wonderful as they are all filled with pride and a sense of doing something worthwhile to help the NHS fight this terrible virus. This is a very humbling experience and one that the team and myself feel proud to be part of.”
