Growing up and studying in Pakistan, Khurram Akhtar saw poverty up close. “ I felt honoured and humbled. Khurram Akhtar ” The appointment was marked with a visit to Pakistan, where the BWF team hosted colleagues from Supertouch UK for lunch in Islamabad, a chance, as BWF described it, to strengthen a partnership already built on shared purpose. A Relationship That Already Runs Deep Supertouch already donates 50% of its annual net profits from every product range to BWF, alongside a further 5% of revenue from its own factory. To understand why that support matters, it helps to look at the scale of the challenge. BWF's work sits directly inside those statistics, doing its bit to turn the tide. The scale of Supertouch's financial philanthropic commitment, along with new levels of involvement, hopes to help many more people across the regions it serves. The Added Benefit of Khurram's Commercial Thinking A charity board's job is straightforward in theory: provide a check and balance, and bring a diversity of thought that no single person, however well intentioned, can offer alone. Khurram's contribution comes from a commercial background, and he is clear that this means applying the same rigour to charitable spending as to any other investment decision. His UK vantage point further adds something else. For Humanity, Regardless of Background One thing Khurram is keen to stress is who BWF supports and the secular for humanity approach. “ At BWF, we are non-sectarian. Khurram Akhtar ” What It Means for Supertouch Earlier this year, Supertouch introduced a new brand platform: Protective Workwear with a Conscience. “ Conscience goes beyond the product.

The Day at St. Khurram travelled with the Programme Team from the Balqees Welfare Foundation (BWF) to visit St. Throughout the visit, Khurram spent time with the team, observing the Hospice's well-organised operations and speaking with the staff responsible for its day-to-day running. A Partnership Built on Consistency The visit also reaffirmed the ongoing partnership between BWF and St. At Supertouch, we donate 50% of our net profits to BWF. Looking Ahead Towards Future Commitments Beyond the visit itself, the day opened up further conversations between Khurram and the BWF team about longer-term collaboration, particularly around the connected challenges of disability and poverty.

This redevelopment is about making it easier for you to do business with us. Faster, smarter ordering With the new website, we wanted to make sure that placing orders, especially larger or repeat ones, can be done with minimal friction. The website search function has had an overhaul too. More control over your account and payments Managing your account should be straightforward, so we've put more of that control directly in your hands. Payments are more flexible too. Better tools for your own website If you use our stock or product data on your own website, there's good news. You can also now download product images directly from individual product pages, just look below the image block on any product listing, and you will see the ‘download images’ link. In addition to our collaboration features, we are now offering the ability to place orders via EDI so your ERP system can talk directly to ours, meaning automation can carry the heavy lifting, giving you more time to focus on your daily operations, knowing your order processing is taken care of. We're not stopping here This launch is a first major step in our efforts of digital redevelopment, and it does not stop here. Because this website has been built with you, our valued customer, in mind, we want to hear what you think.
