Hear From The Team
I started my journey by being an intern, so I was here a year beforehand in partnership with the college to help me get through the grey areas, in the working life and school life. I love that everyone is included not matter how able you are to do the job catered to your needs some people need more support than others, they cater to what’s more comfortable for you. The adjustments that have foe me have helped my working life because I finally feel comfortable in an environment where I don’t exactly know anyone and it’s boosted my confidence a lot, it’s made me realise not everything is bad as it seems.
Tom Kitchin
It’s such a relaxed work environment, in my work experience it was quite tense, you were quite on edge whereas here anyone’s willing to have a chat and just get on with the day sort of thing. The company was very keen on helping me and my disability so it could be easier for me to work. The company makes you feel wanted, your all a part of that role and you all have a responsibility and you don’t feel singled out.
Callum Smith
I love working at Nuneaton’s Signs because it’s a very comfortable, relaxing place to work, everyone is quite close and friendly, we are like a big happy family. Everybody here wants to be here and wants to be able to work and works hard against their disabilities to be able to do their jobs. In 24 years, I’ve had nothing but support from Nuneaton Signs, with things like facilities because I’m in a wheelchair, or any training I’ve ever wanted to help my job easier they’ve given me.
Michelle Knight
It’s quite difficult to get a job when you’ve got a disability, I’m lucky, I’ve been here for 15 years. Somebody puts their trust and faith in you, so you want to give back to them and to the company, so I find that people with disabilities tend to have more time at work and less time off sick than an able-bodied person. There’s always support there, and you’re always being encouraged to better yourself and work your way up in your job role.

Nuneaton Signs are a Social Enterprise
Our core purpose is to provide meaningful employment and training for people with disabilities through the manufacture and sale of signs.
Our purpose has remained the same since we first opened in 1982 as a sheltered workshop, through to the present-day trading as a limited company. We open our doors every day to provide opportunity and training for those furthest from the work marketplace. Of our 82 members of staff, 68% have at least one physical or learning disability and or mental health condition.
We believe that nobody should ever be denied their right to work and contribute to society.

Our Company Ethos
Empowers our whole staff and gives us the opportunity to showcase our business model throughout our customer base and supply chain, we are challenging and supporting other business to open their horizons to individuals who deserve a chance but may otherwise be discounted in the employment process.
As a business we look at what someone can do, not what they can’t. We make adaptations and work with individuals to make sure they are empowered and are able to find meaning in their work.
We offer support, equipment and training to help people make the best of their own individual situations, so that they can thrive and feel valued in the workplace. This then gives individuals the confidence and self-belief to be able to live their lives to the full in all aspects.
