A GOVERNMENT Minister has paid a virtual visit to one of Trowbridge’s leading employers to see for herself how it is testing employees to help keep them safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. Victoria Prentis, the North Oxfordshire MP and a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Farming, Fisheries and Food, joined leading meals provider, apetito, for a virtual visit at its Trowbridge site to see the company’s lateral flow testing, first-hand and discuss the benefits that mass Covid testing brings both to the individual, and the business. apetito was one of the first businesses in the UK to work with Defra and the Department of Health & Social Care in 2020 to roll out asymptomatic testing for people unable to work from home – initially as a pilot scheme.
