Burberry's Yorkshire factory plays its part in fight against Covid-19
Luxury retailer Burberry has donated 150,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the NHS and care charities after it retooled its factory in Yorkshire to make gowns.
Burberry's trench coat factory operations in Castleford closed in March and the site has been repurposed to manufacture non-surgical gowns for the NHS.
Following the Covid-19 outbreak, the factory has switched from making high end luxury goods to manufacturing PPE for medical and care workers.
