Comax UK & Sanitise This are Joining Forces to Bring their Locally Made Community Spirit Hand Sanitiser to Bars, Hotels and Restaurants Across The South!

When COVID-19 hit the impact was immediate, it affected all businesses & services and forced everyone to find new ways to work and support each other.

Based in Ringwood, Comax UK has proudly supplied local hospitality businesses, care homes and schools with professional cleaning, catering & PPE products for over 25 years. From the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, they had to adapt rapidly to the changing market place. Due to the incredible demand, for sanitiser and PPE, sourcing stock became challenging but they were able to quickly focus the business to janitorial and PPE supplies, initially prioritising their NHS, care home and school customers, whilst working hard to ensure continuous supplies of crucial stock.

Now five months after it all began the hospitality industry is getting back on its feet and they could not be more excited to be collaborating with fellow local business Conker Spirit!

Back in April, Dorset’s first gin distillery, Conker Spirit, rapidly shifted their distillery production to help bridge the gap in supply of sanitiser for frontline workers. During the start of the epidemic, they gave away hundreds of 70cl bottles of hand sanitiser, aptly naming it their ‘Community Spirit’. Made from the waste ‘heads’ of their distillation process, it had the added benefit of being full of the oils and aromas from their gin botanicals.

This generosity prompted quite a bit of interest from the local press, and it was not long before companies all over the country flooded their inbox. “That’s when we knew it was going to take more than a gesture of a few hundred bottles of free sanitiser. There was a genuine need for us to go into full-scale production of the WHO formulation hand sanitiser, and quickly!” says Rupert. Since then, Conker Spirit have manufactured over 80,000 litres of WHO Formulation Hand Sanitiser alongside their usual distillery operations, supplying frontline services, key worker businesses and people in their homes.

Now, as lockdown lifts and businesses start to open their doors again, they have taken their sanitiser production to a completely new level with the launch of Sanitise This, a separate company within the Conker group that offers ethically priced, beautifully presented sanitiser solutions for the hospitality industry and businesses.

The partnership between Comax, as locally based distributors, and manufacturers Conker Spirit is a perfect match! Both are delighted to launch Community Spirit Hand Sanitiser into bars, hotels and restaurants across the UK.

Community Spirit Hand Sanitiser is now available to order from Comax UK in 500ml & 5 Litre containers.
