As lockdown gradually eases, we are here for you when you need us The news that more businesses will return to operating in the coming weeks has prompted everyone to consider what needs to happen and not happen. As car showrooms and open-air markets recommence trading next week, with many other shops scheduled to follow suit from the middle of June, there is now a little light at the end of Coronavirus tunnel.

Advanced Alloys proud to be an indirect supplier to this key NHS initiative You will know that the Nightingale Hospitals are temporary NHS facilities, specifically set up to treat Covid-19 patients.  There are plans for many across the country, but two of the first to be built are at London’s ExCel Centre and Birmingham’s NEC, each of which may eventually house 5,000 beds.

Advanced Alloys is supplying copper strip in coils and copper tubing to some of these construction companies.  Whilst never losing sight for one minute of the perils of the overall pandemic, we are nevertheless proud to be playing some small part in equipping these lifesaving hospitals. At the same time, we continue to supply copper products to other key organisations such as supermarkets.
