At the 2021 Adur and Worthing Business awards – the annual event celebrating the achievements of businesses in this region of Sussex – held at the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing on the evening of Friday 12 November, Ricardo was recognised for its COVID-19 response. With its headquarters at Shoreham-by-Sea in the UK, Ricardo is both a global company and a major local business in the Adur and Worthing area of the West Sussex coast. That tangible sense of belonging both to global and local communities and the positive impact that local innovation can have on global events was at the heart of Ricardo’s work that was recognised by the Adur and Worthing Business Awards judging panel which rewarded the company and Worthing-based Egalité Care with the 2021 awards for COVID-19 response. As part of the national effort to supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required by those working to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, Ricardo designed, assembled and donated 10,000 protective face shields to front line NHS and healthcare workers in just over 100 NHS hospital trusts, care homes, nursing homes, GP surgeries and hospices across the Midlands and south of England.
