Businesses unite to support health and social care workers across Chesterfield and Derbyshire
Four local businesses have teamed up to manufacture and deliver free protective visors to health and social care workers.
Production has begun by Inkersall manufacturer, Hutchinson’s PVC Solutions Ltd.
An additional assembly line has also been created at One to One Support Services in Hasland. With the support of the training academy’s office workers and tutors, it is hoped that 1,000 units will have been completed and delivered by the end of the week.
Melanie Ulyatt, MD of One to One Support services comments: “It is paramount that we all work together. Keeping people safe in the community and keeping our essential workers as safe as possible is key to saving lives during this crisis.
“I am keen to promote this widely to ensure these reach those front line people that need it urgently”.
Local firms, Peak 4×4 Response and Autosupplies Chesterfield Limited are two of the businesses, which have volunteered to deliver the visors to local health and social workers.
A collection option is also available to those who are able to do so safely, following current Government guidelines.

Hutchinson’s PVC Solutions Ltd has so far utilised materials usually designated for its PVC industrial and personal use products. Businesses that are able to donate materials (ideally Clearplas PVC 50 and 1’ self-adhesive hook and loop Velcro) are urged to contact the Visor Distribution Chesterfield team via Facebook.
