Pembroke Refinery has donated vital PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to NHS workers and care workers at The Paul Sartori Foundation to help combat the spread of COVID-19

Face masks, goggles, spoggles, gloves and visors have been donated to the critical care unit and the midwifery unit at Withybush Hospital. Donations have also been made to local GP surgeries and to Paul Sartori for nurses continuing to provide palliative care.

Donations have come from Valero but also from some of the refinery’s nested contractors: Cape, Hertel and Simon Safety.

Stephen Thornton, refinery public affairs manager, said: “Everyone at Pembroke Refinery is committed to helping the community in any way we can. Our local health professionals are the front line in this battle and everyone must help to ensure that they are well provisioned as long as this pandemic lasts.

“Every Thursday our site alarm will sound in tribute to the workers of the NHS and we will continue to help our community in this time of need.”
