We are very pleased to welcome back Elaine Gray, Purchasing Lead at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

You may remember we interviewed Elaine about her success in refurbishing 300 bins, saving £18,000 in the process, and about her organisation's experience of Warp It. Now, she is here to talk about some great news, having successfully been accredited the Revolve Standard.

Our team here at Warp It are really pleased to welcome back Elaine Gray, Purchasing Lead at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, back for another interview.

Cast your mind to this time last year. Do you remember when we shared a very interesting and inspirational story about an NHS organisation that saved £18,000 by refurbishing 300 bins instead of buying new ones? That was thanks to Elaine Gray and her team.

 

Well they are now approaching another milestone- £1 million in cost avoidance from their reuse activities!!
