Norfolk Industries for Disabled People is exceptionally proud to have received a Highly Commended at the 2024 National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards.
The award was given in the ‘Employer of People with a Disability’ category which looks for a business or charity that demonstrates true values of respect, equality and accessibility for their employees who have a learning disability and/or autism.
These are values that are close to our hearts and reflect the ethos and ambition of our business. To take the runner up slot in a national-level award, open to both businesses and charities across England, Wales and Scotland, is a real achievement and we are honoured to have been recognised in this way.
What the judges said:
“Norfolk Industries for Disabled People go above and beyond in employing those with learning disabilities and deserve high commendation in this category. They stand as a shining example of inclusivity and take an approach many can seek to learn from.”
General manager, Sharon Tooke said:
“It’s been so inspiring to have the business shortlisted for such an award. The event was wonderful and an opportunity to see the amazing work that is going on in the care sector across the country.
To gain Highly Commended in our category of Employer of People with Disabilities is such an honour and a real acknowledgment of our work to provide a supportive working environment for people with disabilities in our local community.
It’s also something that our commercial customers can be proud of in that they are supporting a business such as ours by trading with us! Win, win!”
Sales of our pet products are crucial in supporting our mission to provide disabled and disadvantaged people with access to the world of work. We’d like to thank everyone who currently trades with us for the part you play in making this happen and welcome any prospective new traders to get in touch.
