During the COVID pandemic, like everyone, I wanted to do whatever I could to help. We desperately needed somewhere in Crewe Central to administer Covid Jabs. I didn’t talk about it – I just did it. We worked with the NHS, donating the use of my business premises on West Street to carry out several hundred thousand vaccination jabs.
The centre was feature on Good Morning Britain, on TV in the UK.
News of the transformation of the motorcycle dealership soon spread across the world, so much so that it even featured on 9News Australia.
As Australia plans to open more mass vaccination centres, lessons can be learnt from the UK’s rollout.
With more than 30 million jabs delivered, the elderly are now receiving their second doses and unusual venues are being transformed into pop-up clinics. @CGreenbank9 #9News pic.twitter.com/v1pWqfBTm2
