WHAT WE DO

We supply high quality, reusable, clothed barrier face masks and snoods, at an affordable price to all workers.

We all realised that non-surgical face masks was going to be crucial for the working public to wear, for example, on public transport and in any unavoidable environments where social distancing was going to be a problem.

OUR MISSION

The CRV19 Science informs us that, a certain proportion of the population contract the virus show NO symptoms, BUT act as ‘carriers’ shedding the virus to unsuspecting bystanders who then develop the viral infection.

Scientific evidence from the WHO, and now also from the UK Government, recommends the use of ‘barrier masking’, to reduce contracting such infections, especially in crowded places.

To this end we have sourced the highest quality barrier materials for our masks and snoods. So that BOTH the unsuspecting ‘carrier’ is prevented from spreading the virus to an unsuspecting bystander who is in turn protected by wearing a mask or snood.
