Statement from Helapet Ltd
Feb 2020 - Helapet deliver chemical protective apparel for microbiology testing initiative in India
Here at Helapet our company vision, mission and values inform everything we do on a daily basis, including the importance of being "helpful and to provide assistance to customers and colleagues".
Demonstrating our commitment to supporting customer health and protection, we recently responded to a request from a gentleman on his way to Khristiya Seva Niketan Hospital, a small mission hospital in West Bengal, India. The purpose of his visit was to introduce microbiology testing to KSN Hospital's small pathology laboratory, which required some personal protective clothing for his colleagues. We were delighted to assist him and delivered chemical protective Tyvek Lab Coats which were used to protect personnel against accidental spillages of potentially infected material in the microbiology lab. This includes patient samples that might be infected or cultures of pathogenic bacteria that the laboratory staff have cultured.
Having taken receipt of our lab coats, we were delighted to receive a personal thankyou note:
Dear Helapet,
On a wet afternoon on 9th January, I picked up some sample lab coats which you had kindly put to one side for me, to take out to a small mission hospital in India, where I am helping them to introduce microbiology testing in their pathology lab. I thought you might like to see a picture of them being worn. The lady in the middle is one of my colleagues from the UK.
Thank you once again for your generosity.
Yours sincerely
I M
KSN Hospital,
KSN Hospital provide life transforming surgeries, treatments and vital care to their community.
We love hearing from our customers on how our products and services can make a difference. If you have a story you would like to share, please email us at info@helapet.co.uk.

Oct 2015 - A new year, a new beginning
January marks the start of a big change at Helapet Ltd... Managing Director John Blight will be hanging up his jacket and heading off into retirement.
John joined Helapet in October 2005, initially as Operations Manager before being promoted to General Manager in 2009 and then Managing Director in 2012.
Looking back over these last 10 years we have seen some significant changes within Helapet. Our sales have more than doubled, we have seen the introduction of a field based sales team and overall employee numbers have increased. This growth, both in turnover and staff, necessitated the need to move. Whilst we didn't have to relocate far, this was still a major project and included the construction of the new cleanrooms.
With sales on track to reach record levels in 2015, Helapet is being left in a very good position for John's successor.
Replacing John as Managing Director will be Ben Miles from our sister company, Gemini Healthcare Services Ltd. Ben has been working within the CliniMed group of companies since 2003 and has been a Director since 2007 with responsibilities for Marketing, New Product Development and Regulatory Affairs.
We would like to offer both John and Ben our warm congratulations and look forward to continued success in 2016.
