OSRAM has supplied the NEXUS N!UNITED initiative with 1,000 complimentary bottles of hand sanitizer via The Parts Alliance, to send out to their network of branches. From there, the bottles will then be distributed to Servicesure Autocentre members throughout the UK.

Bartley Garage, based in Southampton, was the first to receive the complimentary sanitizer. Dermot Dromey, owner of Bartley Garage, commented: “We’d like to thank all of those involved for this kind gesture as sanitizer has now become a necessary addition to any garage. Not only will it maximise the health and safety of the team and customers, but it also offers reassurance that we’re doing all we can to get drivers back on the road as safely as possible.”

Launched in April, the NEXUS N!UNITED initiative is aimed at helping and supporting international regions most affected by COVID-19 through the donations of surgical masks, hand sanitizer and other medical devices.

Thanks to the collaboration of the N! Community, the N!UNITED initiative has already helped to secure hospitals and workshops in Italy, Spain, Brazil, Lebanon,Ukraine and Poland, as well as here in the UK.

Mike Parker, Servicesure Sales Manager, Southern Division, said: “We are proud to have Bartley Garage as a member of the Servicesure programme and we are very grateful to OSRAM for supporting this initiative. Dermot, as well as all the other Servicesure members around the UK are very grateful for this kind gesture at this tough time.”

Gael Escribe, CEO of NEXUS, added: “We would like to thank our community, and a special thanks to OSRAM and The Parts Alliance for their efforts and collaboration on this initiative.”
