As a clothing manufacturer for the past 30 years based in the UK with embroidery facilities, we embarked in supplying clothing to the NHS with Embroidered, Personalised, re-usable theatre hats (The hospital were using disposables prior to this) with the name and occupation applied so when in theatre the individuals can now be denoted from each other.using the ethos of replacing one-use disposable garments with fully reusable garments that can be industrially laundered, both cutting down on waste and saving money over the garments 2-3 year (on average) lifespan, we want to extend the products we offer into a range of currently sought after garments.we are currently supplying Theatre Hats and Scrub Suits manufactured to order direct to Hospital Trusts optimising our Just in Time strength and are looking for the grant to be able to diversify our product range into re-usable and personalise able Gowns and Face masks to meet the immediate need with a safe and conforming garment that does not have a single use lifespan.The Key objective for the project is that by the end of 2020 we are utilising a large proportion in the region of 35% of our business from other non-essential sectors and diverting the availability and production back into the NHS utilising the new re-usable product range we have at our disposal.We feel that with the assistance of the grant we will be in a position to provide the NHS going forward with a reliable production base of reusable essential PPE Clothing, specialising in Just in Time Manufacturing to supply the most needed requirements at the correct times and have zero reliance on stock levels. our current manufacturing capacity is around 4000 units of clothing per week (relative to complexity) which can be directed to the correct areas with multiple products available as and when it is required.Following on from the initial grant received and understanding the lessons learned to date, the extension for impact funding is required to meet specific, out of initial scope requirements those being, CE marking for the range of reusable products as required by the NHS, Development of mechanical / chemical recycling for end of life products, and creating channels for a subsequent holistic distribution supply chain. Finally and of significant importance, it is a requirement of our R&D Progress that garments enter a live commercial washing and wearer trial to prove the total concept.

作为一个服装制造商在过去的30年里，总部设在英国的刺绣设施，我们开始提供服装与刺绣，个性化，可重复使用的戏剧帽（在此之前，医院使用一次性用品），使用姓名和职业，因此在手术室中，每个人现在可以相互表示。使用一次性服装与完全可重复使用的服装，可以在工业上清洗，既减少浪费，节省资金超过服装2-3年（平均）寿命，我们想扩大我们提供的产品范围，使之成为一系列目前受欢迎的服装。我们目前正在供应戏剧帽和磨砂服，直接订购医院信托优化我们的及时生产优势，并正在寻求资助，以便能够将我们的产品范围多样化为可重复使用和个性化的长袍和口罩，以满足安全和符合要求的服装的即时需求，这些服装没有一次性使用寿命。该项目的主要目标是到2020年底，我们将利用35%的区域中的大部分我们的业务从其他非必要部门和转移的可用性和生产回到国民保健服务利用新的可重复使用的产品范围，我们在我们的处置。我们认为，与补助金的援助，我们将能够提供国民保健服务向前发展与可重复使用的基本个人防护装备服装的可靠生产基地，专注于准时生产，在正确的时间供应最需要的需求，并对库存水平零依赖。我们目前的生产能力约为每周4000件服装（相对于复杂性），可以在需要时针对具有多种产品的正确领域。在收到初始赠款并了解迄今为止的经验教训之后，需要延长影响力资金，以满足特定的、超出初始范围的要求，根据NHS的要求，为可重复使用的产品系列提供CE标志，为报废产品开发机械/化学回收，并为后续的整体分销供应链创建渠道。最后，也是最重要的一点，我们的研发过程要求服装进入现场商业洗涤和穿着试验，以证明整体概念。
