Owners of The Facelet have just completed and delivered a 6,000 unit order to Fraser Hospitality hotel group, where custom-branded face coverings will be worn by staff across UK and European Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and Fraser Place locations.
The Facelet is a patent-pending face covering, uniquely designed with a button fastening - allowing the covering to conveniently be placed on the wrist. This anti-bacterial and reusable face covering provides many solutions to increasingly common problems for both employers and employees.
Fraser Hospitality recognised the waste that comes with using disposable masks, along with the financial impact of replenishing these and has since opted to invest in reusable masks for its employees.
Complete with branded styles for each hotel, The Facelet also solved a bigger challenge that the hospitality industry faces. Many uniforms do not have pockets therefore disposable masks are constantly being misplaced, and this was certainly the case for the Fraser Hospitality group.
Staff at Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and Fraser Place hotels will now have branded face coverings, reducing the need for disposable masks while offering a practical alternative that has a unique design ensuring that their mandatory face coverings are always within reach.
Martyn Ball, People & Development Director at Fraser Hospitality, said: “The fact that The Facelet’s products can be worn around the wrist when not in use is a huge benefit as it minimises the risk of masks being misplaced or staff finding themselves without one when they need it the most.
It’s a much more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to using single-use masks as staff need to change their face coverings several times throughout the day in line with Government advice.”
Steve Pole, co-founder at the facelet, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Frasers Hospitality to provide a solution that really works for them. Our masks are practical and easy to use, making them the perfect choice for those who work with the general public.”
An initial order with 6,000 units has been completed, with a repeat order under discussion to support hotels across other global regions.
