... from stock within 48 hours’
On call for Nightingale
» WHEN MAJOR PVCU MANUFACTURER
Nolan uPVC received an urgent order for
14 sets of emergency exit doors for the new
Swansea Nightingale Hospital, they knew that
they would be able to meet the deadline due
to their close relationships with their suppliers,
not least with hardware company VBH.
VBH supplied the 14
sets of gear, comprising
greenteQ Anti-Panic
hardware and Sigma door
hinges from stock within
48 hours. The order was
shipped directly from
the company’s Kent headquarters, which
has remained open with a skeleton staff and
reduced working days to provide products for
emergency contracts such as this.
Nolan were able to manufacture the doors
and have them on site within a remarkable six
days.
The hospital has been constructed within
the disused 11,000m² Swansea Bay Studios
building and will initially provide beds for
500 COVID patients, with another 350 being
added in the coming weeks.
