​Can your business help the fight against COVID-19?

​​​The Government is asking for businesses, where possible, to offer COVID-19 support.  The support needed includes things like:


  • Protective equipment for healthcare workers, such as masks, gowns and sanitiser
  • Transport and logistics, for moving goods or people
  • Manufacturing equipment
  • Warehouse or office space, for medical use or storage
  • Expertise or support on IT, manufacturing, construction, project management, procurement or engineering

Click the button below to directly tell the Government how your business might be able to help with the response to COVID-19. 

You’ll be asked some questions about the type of support you can give, and you’ll be contacted as soon as possible if needed.

Could your business help Network Rail develop PPE supply capability?

​​​British Marine has received a request from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to ask if any members can help Network Rail. Network Rail are seeking alternative designs and manufacturing techniques for Face Masks and Face Visors, that creates a new and additional supply capability to provide these key devices. 

This initiative does not seek to influence or disrupt the supply chain for the traditional masks and visors and as such, Network Rail are looking to collaborate with manufacturers who do not currently produce traditional face masks and visors but who can suggest alternative materials, solutions or method of manufacturing and that are still able to conform with specifications within this document.
