“We still have demand from customers supporting the NHS, and also manufacturing customers who are being asked to use their capabilities to produce items to support essential services, but demand from our traditional customers has very significantly reduced. Throughout this period we will focus all our efforts on supporting essential services and within government guidelines to industry which are continually being updated,” the company said in a press release.
