Staff at two wind farms off the Norfolk coast have helped the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic by sewing ear savers and shaving their head, respectively.
Charlotte Monsey, senior supply chain consultant at Sheringham Shoal, has been sewing wash bags for key workers to store and wash their uniforms securely, along with ear savers to protect their ears from wearing masks for a long time.
She said: “We have made 40 bags and 40 ear savers and we intend to keep going until there is no further demand for them.”
