Bentley supports Cheshire care sector
Bentley is 3D printing more than 30,000 face-shields for the Cheshire care sector, including all care homes, the NHS and other local community services.
It is also donating personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, face masks, safety glasses and seat covers, and extending its Bentley “Meals on 22-inch Wheels” service, where colleagues volunteer to deliver essential items in the community.
Dr Astrid Fontaine, Bentley’s board member for people, digitalisation and IT, said: “This is such an incredibly difficult time for everyone and with our number one priority being the safety and well-being of our colleagues, their families and our communities, we are determined to help as best we can.
“We are utilising our world-leading engineering and manufacturing expertise, the remarkable vehicles and resources we have available to us, and also our extraordinary colleagues, who are going to such efforts to help the local Cheshire area and the healthcare professions, locally and nationally, who continue to perform such heroics. We will endeavour to work with the whole community in the proceeding weeks and months to help in every way possible in this time of great need.”
