COVVI, the Leeds-based prosthetic hand company, is increasing the scale of operations at its headquarters at Quayside Business Park in Leeds following a huge rise in demand.
The company is looking to recruit 25 more staff including engineers and other candidates involved in the field of robotics and has recently taken on a number of global distributors.
Having recently received the news that the NHS will allow patients to apply for funding to get a multi-articulated hand in England, the company is looking to ramp up production to meet demand.
The company already works with distributors around the world, but as a company that was founded in the UK as recently as 2017, the company were delighted to receive the news.
The COVVI Hand aspires to be the world’s most advanced, powerful and robust bionic hand. It connects to the COVVI Go App via Bluetooth and allows users to manage various settings for their hand, such as changing input sensitivity, moving between grip tables and assigning grip switch triggers. This innovation promises to make a life-changing impact for its users.
Entrepreneur and current Group CEO Simon Pollard formed COVVI with the mission to design and manufacture a myo-electric, multi-articulated hand that was accessible to as many people as possible around the world.
CEO Simon Pollard says: “Our continued ambition and key goal has always been to supply our hand through nationalised health services, like the NHS, to improve accessibility to the hand. We encourage you to browse our website and learn more about the COVVI Hand, the benefits it brings and the reason why we believe it’s the most advanced bionic hand on the market.”
COVVI has already won a multitude of design, technology, AI and innovation awards, which is a testament to the team and their efforts to change many lives around the world.
