BUSINESS IS DONE BETTER TOGETHER: PLATINUM GROUP Platinum Group welcomes revolutionary manufacturer LETSANIFY, the company producing revolutionary, renewable, natural and advanced, antiseptic and disinfectants, has joined the Chamber’s growing number of Platinum Group members. The Tipton-based manufacturer, headed up by Jag Jaigirdar, joins other Chamber member companies tapping into the group which this year has marked a decade of collaborative working across the region. Mr Jaigirdar told Prosper: “The Platinum Group membership provides us with an important business network and the opportunity to work with like-minded businesses. It means we can learn and also contribute our own experience. “The group also allows us to meet and mix with key business directors, helping us to increase our skills and bring them back into our organisation and grow. “We are really looking forward to working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Chamber and our fellow members over the coming months.” Established in 2020, the business, based on Bloomfield Road, manufactures and bottles its bacteria and virus-killing products onsite, providing protection against viruses such as SARS, E. COLI, MRSA and, according to leading UK lab MELBEC, CoV-2 and COVID-1 C/. With no alcohol or harmful chemicals, and with the key ingredient of hypochlorous acid (HOCL), a natural particle created by the human immune system to eradicate invasive organisms and fight infection, the safe and effective multi-purpose liquid can be applied without the need for protective clothing. Gail Arnold, head of premium membership at the Black Country Chamber said, “Over the last decade, The Platinum Group has gone from strength to strength, and it’s been an absolute thrill to collaborate with new members all the time. “I’m looking forward to working more closely with Letsanify and introducing them to businesses across our network. The Platinum Group has grown into a powerful collective of peers growing their own businesses and the region’s economy.” If you are interested in joining The Platinum Group, you can contact Gail Arnold on 07810 377819.
