During these challenging times, Parafix is in a fortunate position to repurpose some of its production lines from manufacturing customised adhesive tape components to making 20,000 protective face shields per day.

Full face visors are an important part of the personal protective equipment (PPE) healthcare professionals are required to wear to keep them safe whilst treating patients with COVID-19. Due to the shortage, Parafix was keen to deliver the face shields to the frontline NHS workers as soon as possible. Parafix have already started regular deliveries to 8 different hospitals within NHS trusts in Sussex and Bristol, while still speaking with others.

Parafix has two Class 7 Clean Rooms, which they ordinarily use to make supplies for the healthcare and electronic industries, like wound care dressings and lab-on-a-chip components. With already highly regulated environment suitable for production of medical equipment, they have introduced additional safety measures to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19 on the factory floor.

Given the high demand for face shields, Parafix have just completed a successful recruitment drive and introduced additional shifts to enable us to increase output. In order to make this happen, they are thankful for the support of our community: Tim Loughton MP helped connect Parafix with the right individuals within NHS, while Lancing Business Park and many others helped them with the recruitment. Parafix are also thankful to all of the applicants and our existing staff who have stood up to the challenge and are going above and beyond to support the NHS.

Parafix are honoured to have the opportunity to support the heroic efforts of the frontline NHS staff and to help keep them safe.

On Wednesday 11th March Pasante Healthcare Ltd kindly opened the doors of their new Head Office in Peter Road, to host an LBP Inter-Park Trading Connect Event.

Businesses from across the park came together to view the transformation from warehouse to corporate office space and network with businesses based on the park.

Louise Ball, Marketing Director for Pasante Healthcare Ltd and Julian Ridley, Contracts Manager from Phoenix Systems Ltd who undertook the works, introduced the new building. They explained the benefits of working with another business based on the park and how pleased they are with the final outcome.

Businesses were encourage to tour the new facilities and see firsthand the standard of building that can be created from just a blank warehouse shell.

With ever increasing demand for commercial property on the business park, businesses are considering options fully and rethinking their current space, before deciding to leave the park.

LBP would like to thank everyone for attending this lunch event and of course Pasante Healthcare Ltd for their hospitality and the generous lunch spread they kindly provided. We would also like to thank Martin Bloomfield of Seaside Creative for the event photography.
