300 PPE visors were delivered to care homes across Southport by Dave Connor founder of Optimum Group and Phil Gee co-owner of Stand Up For Southport

A further 25,000 free PPE visors are now available for care home workers, bus drivers, funeral home workers and others in Southport, Formby and across Merseyside. 

Since early April the Optimum Group has been sourcing and donating for free all the materials needed to produce PPE visors.

The Liverpool-based company which has spent over £15,000 in materials has already helped produce and distribute more than 40,000 visors. 

Last week Optimum, along with Stand Up For Southport co-owner Phil Gee, distributed 300 PPE visors to care homes across Southport. 

The Optimum Group has manufactured a further 25,000 visors and all organisations from care homes, funeral homes to bus drivers are urged to make contact asap.

Optimum Group founder Dave Connor (aka Dave Coffee) said: “We were watching the news and we were all devastated to see key frontline workers couldn’t get the PPE they need.

“Lots of lives are on the line here.”

The Optimum Group secured a large quantity of polypropylene and acetate a blueprint for producing medical visors suitable for NHS staff and other key workers in the fight against coronavirus and Covid-19. 

The firm has been trading since 2006 and operates 28 Costa Coffee stores in Liverpool, Ormskirk, Formby, Ellesmere Port, Runcorn and Sale, as well as two Kaspa’s Desserts outlets in Liverpool and St Helens. It is one of the most highly populated Costa franchise clusters in the UK. The 28 Costa branches boast 394 Costa staff while Kaspa’s has two branches with 48 staff. 

Dave Connor said: “We are normally out there making cups of coffee, now we are making PPE visors, but we have to do something to protect our frontline workers.”

Two of the groups Costa stores – in Gateacre and Crosby – have been opened as Collection / Assembly hubs with the Costa & Kaspa’s teams manning these hubs six days a week.
