The wholesaler stepped in to help the charity, which was experiencing a ‘logistical nightmare’ in delivering the vast quantities of vital PPE to their frontline staff across the region, and as a result nurses can now collect the equipment from their local Spar store.

Peter Dodding, sales and marketing director at James Hall & Co, said: “Nurses have been able to collect a month’s supply of PPE from their nearest Spar store, including a network of independent Spar retailers and company-owned stores, all who are thrilled to be able to play a small part in ensuring Marie Curie’s team of dedicated nurses can continue to deliver such a vital service for families across the UK.”

Marie Curie healthcare assistant, Flora Snape, added: “At a time when coronavirus has had, and continues to have, a devastating impact on our fundraising and income, this initiative from James Hall will help save the charity vital funds. So, on behalf of the nursing service, I would like to say a big thank-you to Spar for making this possible and for their continued support.”

At the start of the pandemic Spar’s south west regional distribution company, Appleby Westward, revealed it was helping to distribute PPE to 100 nurses across its region.
