Purpose Media hosts workplace
Covid-19 testing lab A Covid-19 antibody test cassette
Chamber strategic partner Purpose Media hosted a workplace Covid-19 testing lab at its Derbyshire headquarters to allow its staff and their families to be tested for coronavirus. The firm hired two occupational nurses to carry out more than 60 tests,
which identify the body's response to coronavirus after the onset of infection, giving a yes or no result within ten minutes. A finger-prick sample of blood is taken, which is then put into the test cassette to check whether there are any coronavirus antibodies present. Of the 67 tests carried out on the day, two were positive. Testing was done in Purpose Media’s board room, in accordance with the
Government’s coronavirus safety guidelines. The firm has also redesigned the layout of its premises, including installing safety signs, to ensure it complies with social distancing measures for when its team eventually returns.

Managing Director Matt Wheatcroft said: “We were pleased to provide
coronavirus testing to all our staff and members of their households, to help provide peace of mind. “As a responsible employer, the health and wellbeing of our employees is
a priority. Offering them the opportunity to get tested is just one of the ways we are looking after the team. “We’re also thinking ahead to when the office might reopen by investing
in our workspace to ensure that if, and when, the guys do want to come back in, we’ve got the appropriate social distancing measures in place to accommodate the whole team safely. “The new, more agile way of remote working has actually seen our
productivity increase during lockdown so moving forward, we’ll be building more flexibility into the business for staff, in terms of the hours they want to work and where they want to work from.”
