Medicom Visit

Medicom Healthpro Limited, in Brackmills Northampton, have manufactured an impressive 560 million masks in the last 18 months, bringing their monthly total to 60 million masks per month.

Medicom are a PPE manufacturer, established at the beginning of the pandemic, to help combat the extraordinary increase in demand for PPE.  I met with the Managing Director of Medicom, Hugues Bourgeois, who showed me around their state of the art facilities and told me about their UK journey. They are a leading supplier of PPE with an a footprint in 95 countries. I was delighted to hear about the speed of success of the business, and how Medicom gave new jobs to over 250 local people since the start of the pandemic.  

I welcome the huge efforts of so many businesses to adapt to new pressures during the pandemic, and wish them every continued success
