This PPE equipment consists of 400 face masks and 4000 gloves which will today be delivered to Poole Hospital, local to Sunseeker International's headquarters.

Michael Straughan, Chief Operating Officer, commented: "We all need to do our bit in these exceptional circumstances. We wanted to support our hardworking NHS workers as they continue their exceptional frontline work against the Coronavirus. As we had PPE equipment available, we felt it was important to donate these to Poole Hospital to help however we can."

Mark Mould, Chief Operating Officer at Poole Hospital, responded: "It has been so heartening to see the business community rallying around our hospitals during this current crisis. We are so grateful to Sunseeker International for this offer of support and their equipment will further improve our resilience during this challenging period for the NHS."
