Angie visits Remploy in Acton

Angie was delighted to be contacted by one of Acton's local employers and invited to come and visit their factory in North Acton. Remploy specialises in providing employment for people with disabilities. Their Acton factory, with a staff of 41, produces a variety of products, many of which require the workers to have complex and intricate skills. What impressed Angie most was that a large percentage of the staff have worked there for many years, indicating that it is a well-run work place with a happy staff. After the visit Angie said, "I really enjoyed my visit to Remploy in Acton. What they are doing is really impressive and they are making a real contribution with the successful business they run there. They took a bit of a hit during the recession, but they are working hard to get back on track with plenty of ideas for new business to chase. Their management is clearly very innovative and I am confident they can continue to grow. What would really help them is picking up more contacts from local businesses and I will do everything I can to help to promote them. "
