Zero Point 8 has been a client of Reward Finance Group for three years.
The protection equipment has been designed, manufactured and installed from the company’s factory and has been tailor-made for the individual reception area or hospital space, providing a wider security element as well as helping fight the virus.
Zero Point 8 has over 40 years’ experience as specialists in design, manufacture and installation of bespoke furniture for the hospitality, retail, healthcare, commercial and education sectors.
They have never worked in the medical sector specifically before, however, they were quick to adapt their regular operations to support and slow the spread of Covid-19.

By GlobalDataThe company, which has more than 40 employees, had sales set to approach £4m annually before Covid-19 struck.
Mark Baker, chief executive of Zero Point 8, said: “We’re a proud business and, like many others, we have been hit by the uncertainty brought about by Coronavirus.
“However, our knowledge and experience meant that by adapting our operations slightly, we could continue to trade whilst supporting keyworkers.
“We’re grateful to Reward Finance Group for providing the invoice finance facility which has meant we could forge ahead with manufacturing vital medical equipment, without delay.
“We know that we are able to mobilise and adapt to any given situation, and by doing that we can help the wonderful effort being undertaken by key workers everywhere by doing our bit to repurpose production, and that includes interior fittings and temporary and permanent facilities for hospitals and the wider medical sector.”
