Zoro UK has more than tripled its supplies of PPE in 2020 compared to 2019 to medical and other healthcare professionals, and to other sectors in the UK helping to keep manufacturing working.
From facemasks to safety footwear, Zoro drew on its supply chain to meet the huge demands in the wake of the pandemic. Stocking over 350,000 products, Zoro supplied more than three and a half times more PPE, not only selling to consumers, but also health care professionals and engineering business alike, playing its part in the coronavirus effort.
Chris Matenaers, Marketing Director UK, said: “We are really proud that we were able to draw on our expertise, to do what we do, and help in our own small way, not only in these challenging times, but to ensure that workplaces met legislation and regulation.”
“Health and safety is always top priority for organisations across the country so to be able to support them, by ensuring their business keeps running, is paramount.”
