Ventilators
Local engineering business BT Lerson is working 24 hours a day to manufacture vital ventilator components in the UK’s fight against Covid 19.
BT Lerson recently moved to a larger custom built factory in Broxted, near Stansted airport after increasing their production capacity over the new year. While continuing to supply their existing clients and maintaining a close working relationship with Stansted airport they are running their machines almost continuously to produce various urgent ventilator parts to cover the current shortfall.
It’s reported that the NHS has 8,175 ventilators but the government believes up to 30,000 could be needed and has enlisted manufacturers in a wartime-style effort to boost stocks to to at least 61,000.*
Julian Bedford, Director at BT Lerson said, ‘We are all very proud to be working together as a nation to help in such an unprecedented crisis. Fortunately we have just invested in a large growth plan at BT Lerson and therefore had the capacity to step up our production rapidly. We’ve got a dedicated team of engineers and they have worked throughout the bank holiday weekend to ensure no run is delayed or compromised.’
