Inkfire wasn’t alone at Naidex this year. We were proud to share our stand with three other disabled focused brands who are also having a huge impact in making the world more inclusive. We love supporting and spreading awareness, so here’s a little introduction into what each of our fellow brands at stand BN10 do:
Patchwork Hub helps keep employment opportunities accessible, by connecting employers to disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill professionals. They also provide training & consultancy work, among other services, in order to make the best accessibility practices a reality in the workplace.
The Disability Force provides services to help businesses who employ disabled professionals, or even entrepreneurs just getting started, ensure that inclusion is purposefully built into their workplaces. They also offer coaching to give individuals the space, tools, and confidence to move forward with clarity, offering individualised paths to life-changing form of professional development.
Signly adds sign language functionality, both British Sign Language (BSL) and American Sign Language (ASL), to websites. Literacy levels among those whose first/preferred/only language is sign language can be extremely diverse, so Signly combats the lack of functional support for those with these lived experiences who do not or cannot easily use English.
Do you have, or know of, a small brand that you’d like to take to an event with us? We’re always on the lookout for new events and opportunities. Get in touch at [email protected] and we’ll have a chat to see how we can help.
