Robinson Services – NOW Group
Robinson Services, established for over 40 years, is one of the largest private UK support services businesses who provide cleaning, hygiene, laundry, security, specialist and outdoor services to a range of customers across the public and private sector. The company currently employs 1700 people across Northern Ireland.
Robinson Services has employed one of NOW Groups’ participants in a cleaning position. Robinson Services are committed to becoming a more inclusive employer and have signed up to become a JAM Card Friendly Organisation.
Stephen Woods, Operation Director for Robinson Services described working with NOW Group as a positive experience helping Robinson Services on their journey in becoming a more confident disability employer. NOW Group has helped the team with reasonable adjustment recommendations and also with use of language. It has been great to see the journey of a NOW Group participant becoming a permanent employee. This process would not have been as smooth without the support of NOW Group.
