HMG Paints’ hand sanitiser, helping
businesses get back to work
The UK’s largest independent
coatings manufacturer, HMG
Paints Ltd has expanded its
production capabilities on its
70+ alcohol containing hand
sanitiser. The expansion
comes just in time to support
businesses across the UK
re-opening and implementing
measures in line with
government guidelines.
HMG have been providing key workers,
care providers and charities throughout
the pandemic with hand sanitiser, based
on World Health Organisation (WHO)
recommended formulations after a
national shortage was announced. Rebecca
Bentham, Head of Income Development
at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice, who were one of
many companies to receive hand sanitiser
from HMG Paints, commented on their
donation “We are very grateful to HMG
Paints Ltd for their kind donation of hand
sanitisers to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice. In these
unprecedented times, our patients and
staff’s safety is paramount, the donation has
contributed to our nurses being able to take
all relevant precautions when providing
necessary care within the community.”
The Manchester Based company has been
issued a permit from the HSE (Health and
Safety Executive) allowing the supply and
manufacture of sanitiser because of the
SARS-CoV-2/coronavirus pandemic. As the
UK enters a new phase with workplaces
beginning to reopen, implementing health
and safety measures in accordance with
government guidelines, HMG have
expanded production to supply local
organisations in Manchester and across the
UK. Authorised by the HSE the First Thing
Sanitiser, which contains over 70% alcohol,
can be
purchased
in boxes of
250ml bottles,
ideal for use
by individual
employees
as well as
5 litre refills.
“Many of
our current
customers
have placed
regular supply
orders with us
for hand sanitiser as they begin to return to
work and implement ways to protect their
employees.” Said John Falder, Managing
Director. “The First Thing Sanitiser being
approved by the HSE has meant we have
increased our production capabilities
on the sanitiser line and therefore welcome
companies to get in touch with us to order
sanitiser from a UK Family Business.
By manufacturing right here in Britain,
we can guarantee our customers a fast
and continuous supply which will allow them
to utilise First Thing Sanitiser in their Working
Safely policies during this current time.“
Continued John.
