How will this pandemic change the PPE industry’s approach to different end-users? How will PPE companies seize this tremendous growth opportunity? We have seen during this pandemic private equity companies being favoured over established manufacturers and suppliers. As an industry, how can we do better? Adam Mansell, UKFT Richard Jessup, Gerber Technology Paul Bryce, Ansell (UK) Ltd. Samantha Fernando, Keela International Sustainability: In partnership with INVISTA CORDURA® Brand Tuesday 24th November, 2:30 – 4:00pm The PCIAW® have gathered in this international webinar some of the leading companies that are already making the required changes. Studies have shown that the textile industry is the second largest polluter in the world, after aviation.

From the 1st of January 2021, the UK is expected to adopt its own PPE legislation, including the use of a new UKCA mark for the first time in decades. Our team of panellists are here to explain what this means to the industry and discuss how it can affect UK businesses and their international trading partners. This webinar should equip listeners with the knowledge to prepare for the upcoming changes. Adam Mansell, UKFT Simon Courtney, SATRA In partnership with Gerber Technology Friday 27th November, 2:30 – 4:00pm In a global world, where businesses need compete on an international scale, do manufacturers and suppliers have the resilience to cope in a disrupted market. In the pandemic, we saw borders close, prices increase and goods simply not being delivered. Now what contingencies are being put in place to change the processes in the future?
