Ian has been working day and night using our 3D printer to make face shield parts so they can be combined with the plastic faceguard and given to Keyworkers and the NHS.

He has also designed and printed face mask clips which allow our shop floor workers to wear the mask without the straps rubbing their ears and causing further discomfort.

Albert and his son Jonathon have volunteered to utilise their CO2 laser cutter to make life-saving face shields. Albert has set himself a goal of 2000 face shields and will be giving them out free of charge to all keyworkers that need them.

Carl as Group Head of Health and Safety has the massive challenge of keeping all 600 employees safe during the pandemic. This challenge though, he has taken on.

He has been coordinating advice from the WHO, UK Government and other recommended sources, and then making it useful and practical for use in thyssenkrupp UK.

There would be no need to cut and pick the material if we couldn’t deliver it to the customer and people who need it.

Steve and his team have been making sure that the delivery schedule is communicated internally, so any further communications can be sent onwards.

He has also been making sure that deliveries are still within an acceptable timescale and keeping to the social distancing rules.

Bruce has been working all hours he can, to make sure all the material needs of our key customers are met. Our key customers are providing key products to the front line NHS workers, so Bruce has stepped up to the plate keeping the flow going.

As well as looking after his 2 young sons and supporting his wife who is currently working long hours as a critical care nurse, even with reduced staffing levels Jeff has helped keep the saws running and orders going out, many of which are to be used in manufacturing of medical equipment.

Thank you Jeff. #STRONGTOGETHER
