Pet products supplier Norfolk Industries for Disabled People has been recognised in a national awards programme.
The company was presented with a Highly Commended accolade in the ‘Employer of People with a Disability’ category at the 2024 National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards. The award recognises a business or charity that demonstrates true values of respect, equality and accessibility for their employees who have a learning disability and / or autism.
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.
“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.”
She continued: “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.”
