Burberry, The British Luxury Goods Group, Won A Contract Worth 573000

Burberry, the luxury goods group, has won a contract worth 573000 to produce protective clothing and personal protective equipment for the NHS, according to information released by the British government on Wednesday.

According to evening standard, the contract was not tendered to other suppliers. This may be because the EU stipulates that if only one supplier has the ability to perform the contract, or if an emergency occurs, the government can bypass the normal process.

Prior to the government order, burberry had produced more than 160000 pieces of personal protective equipment, including non-surgical protective clothing and masks, at its windbreaker factory in Castleford, Yorkshire. Since April, burberry has donated the equipment to healthcare charities such as the NHS and Marie Curie.

Matt Hancock, a UK health official, praised Burberry for his assistance, saying: "I would like to pay tribute to Burberry for turning their production line into protective clothing, increasing inventory and providing personal protective equipment to those in need as part of a national effort. I think what Burberry has done so far for this country is commendable, and I hope there will be more Burberry protective clothing. "

"Burberry's entire team is very proud to be able to support people who are working hard to fight the new epidemic, including doctors who treat patients, scientists who are trying to find a vaccine solution, and people who donate food during this difficult time," Burberry's chief executive, Marco gobberti, said at the time

He added that the new outbreak "has fundamentally changed our daily lives, and we want to provide support to save more lives to some extent, bring the virus under control and help our world recover from this devastating epidemic," he added. We'll get through it together. "
