Harborough Man Receives 200 Thank You Cards & Letters After Making Vital PPE For NHS Staff

A Market Harborough man who made face shields for thousands of front-line NHS workers and others has received around 200 thank you cards and letters.

Aaron Shrive used his own 3D printers to produce 7,500 during the height of the first wave of Coronavirus last March, when there was a national shortage of PPE.

He continued production for three months, often working 18 hours a day, to send them as far away as Scotland and Cornwall.

A year on from the announcement of the first lockdown, Aaron has been reflecting on what he did and the thanks he has received from those who benefited:
