Rob Garbut, Co-Founder of The Big NHS Lunch box said: “We set it up because the doctors and nurses on the front line were doing back to back shifts and we thought let’s give them a bit of a treat. Please keep sponsoring us, it’s been an amazing journey and we want to keep going as long as we can.”
The past seven weeks has had a profound impact on everyone, both personally and professionally. I would like to thank our team at Palatine and every director and employee across for portfolio companies for their resilience, hard work and compassion.
