Untold Stories of COVID-19: Week 1: A Conversation With Liam Casey

In March and April 2020, Ireland desperately needed personal protective equipment for its health workers to combat COVID-19. So did every other country in the world. The story of how Ireland sourced the vital PPE during this time involves a global supply chain management firm, PCH International, and its CEO, Liam Casey. It involves the use of contacts built up over a 25 year period in China, and there’s a rock star thrown in for good measure.

This is the untold story of how Liam Casey and his firm brought much-needed PPE to Ireland’s health care workers as the COVID-19 crisis began in earnest.
