Gainsborough-based pet product manufacturer, Beaphar-Sinclair, has donated hand sanitiser gels to local organisations to help with the fight against coronavirus. The batch of hand gel has been produced as a one-off project at the family-run company’s manufacturing site in Raalte, the Netherlands.
22,500 bottles of hand sanitiser have been produced and sent to all Beaphar employees still working at production sites in the Netherlands and the UK, as well as to Beaphar offices around the world to distribute locally.
Dr Sue Huggett, Business Manager, Beaphar UK explains:
“Disinfectant manufacture is something we already do and, as a family-run company, we are using this knowledge to produce hand sanitiser gel to support our working family, as well as families within local communities. The hand gel is already being used by our production staff at Gainsborough, and being distributed locally.”
Two local pet retailers, Trim Pets and The Dog House, five local primary schools, St Barnabas Hospice and several local care homes in the Gainsborough area will be receiving bottles of the new hand gel.
Dr Sue Huggett concludes:
“We’re living in unusual times, but everyone within the company is thrilled that we can not only help keep pets happy and healthy, but that we can do our bit in helping people keep themselves safe as well.”
