As things begin to return to some form of normality after the Covid-19 breakout that forced not just the country, but much of the World in to lockdown, many businesses are now having to address new safety concerns and government guidelines that must be followed to keep the environment safe for all who use it.

One of the most vital tools in the battle against this virus has been the use of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) on the frontlines, the use of PPE is now widely recommended and even essential in some cases for businesses to be operational again.

Mini Sport is World renowned for their design & engineering prowess – their engineering department, MAD boasts the very latest technology utilised in Aerospace & by leading F1 racing industries. Specialising in designing, engineering & manufacturing Classic Mini parts to the highest of standards, to not only replace parts that are no longer produced – but in many cases, to upgrade them!

An external team wanting to produce protective screens for the healthcare sector approached Mini Sport, wanting to produce a more suitable, cost-effective & robust solution than what they currently had. The team, together with Mini Sport’s Engineering Director Daniel Harper came up with the solution to separate healthcare staff from patients, creating a moveable barrier screen, allowing these professionals to continue to work in a safe space. These PPE screens have been rolled out in to many other environments, including offices environments, allowing yet more businesses to return to work.

These groundbreaking products have produced a safer environment by creating a barrier between the patient & practitioner – reducing the direct impact of airborne droplets. Fully adjustable & easy to move, allowing greater freedom for multiple uses.

Engineering is in Mini Sport’s blood and they were delighted that they could put their expertise to use in helping protect people in this battle against the invisible killer that is Coronavirus. This PPE has been approved for use by the Government suppliers to the NHS and is now being used in NHS departments where consultations are needed, not just being supplied in this Country but Worldwide. The next step with this PPE is looking at modifying the designs to be used for children returning to school in September, along with dentistry, physiotherapy and surgeries to help get the Country back on it’s feet!
