Housebuilding team collects protective masks for NHS workers

The masks have been collected by members of David Wilson Homes’ teams at Berry Hill in Mansfield, Romans’ Quarter in Bingham, and Fernwood Village in Newark.

Masks have been delivered to the Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, as well Derby and Glenfield Hospitals, whilst the Leicester Royal Infirmary, Loughborough Hospital, Glenfield Hospital, Nuneaton Hospital, Coventry Hospital and Sheffield General Hospital have also received the equipment.

Managing director John Reddington said: “The donation of high quality FFP3 protective masks from our site teams across Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire will hopefully help NHS employees to continue the admirable work they do on a daily basis.

“We’re proud of our employees for their decision to support those whose need is greater, and we’re thrilled to make the most of this opportunity to support our key workers.”
