Proud of Neil Ferrier, Discommon: Imported 1.5 Million Masks

Hugely proud of Neil Ferrier, one of our old-time Heuer enthusiasts, for organizing the shipment of 1.5 million surgical masks, from China to healthcare workers in South Carolina.

Here's a press release on the plane's arrival in South Carolina, earlier today -- https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/boeing-dreamlifter-transports-1-5m-face-masks-for-covid-19-response-301047249.html

Or watch Neil in this local newscast -- https://www.wyff4.com/article/15-million-face-masks-from-china-delivered-by-boeing-to-south-carolina-healthcare-workers/32279731 Neil was clearly the star of the show; watch him, starting at the 12:10 mark.

Neil is head of Discommon (an industrial design firm) and has undertaken projects with TAG Heuer and with Abel Court. Neil realized that through his connections in China, he might be able to source these surgical masks, and he spent five weeks making it happen.

We're proud of you, Neil!!
