Employing a person with a disability can have a significant, positive impact on your work place....but don't just take our word for it, see what Martin Stapleton from CDS Architectural Metalwork has to say about employing Tommy!
"We are very fortunate to have Tommy working with us through SOS Kilkenny. Tommy is very much part of the team and gets stuck into life on the workshop floor, helping with everything from deburring and polishing metalwork to cleaning down work areas and assisting our fabricators with their day-to-day tasks.
What stands out most about Tommy, however, is the attitude he brings with him every day. He is never late, never grumpy, and seemingly never tired! He arrives ready to work, happy to help and content to be part of whatever is going on around him.
Tommy has a calm, cheerful nature and brings an air of contentment to the workplace that is genuinely infectious. He reminds us that a good workplace isn't just about the work that gets done but it's also about the people you share it with.
Tommy is a valued member of our team, and quite simply, the place is better for having him in it."
Tommy is supported by Work4Life, our employment support programme, which is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union.
