Edinburgh lipreading-friendly face mask firm secures £50k grant
Face mask start-up Breathe Easy has secured a £50,000 grant from Scottish Enterprise’s Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund.
The Edinburgh-based firm said the sum will help the ongoing development of its “ground-breaking,” transparent lip-reading face masks that it says have been well-received by the deaf community.
The funding will also underpin expansion plans as Breathe Easy accelerates production of masks for sectors including care organisations and NHS trusts. The firm was set up three months ago in Corstorphine by businessman Gavin McAdam in response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
