During recent weeks, the team at Trusted PPE has noticed a huge spike in the number of businesses exploiting the market and profiteering from PPE sales.

In some cases, businesses have been inflating prices by more than 1,000%, while others are importing illegitimate PPE from suppliers in Asia using fake and invalid certificates.

In order to help combat the rise in rogue traders, Trusted PPE has launched a dedicated website for the general public, enabling them to purchase low cost and certified face masks and hand sanitisers directly.

Trent Peek, founder of Trusted PPE, said: “In these challenging times, the health and wellbeing of our families and loved ones has never been more important.

“In recent weeks, we’ve been working hard to offer support to frontline workers and those most in need with essential PPE supplies.

“We’ve seen a spike in PPE cowboys out there providing inaccurate information to the public. At times we have been able to catch these companies out red-handed who are so blatantly selling illegitimate products at extortionate costs.

“In the short time the UK has been suffering from this crisis, we have had many large-scale multinational corporations contacting us directly to seek expert advice.

“We have seen first-hand too many inflated quotes and a worrying number of counterfeit certificates.”
