Remploy, the UK's leading provider of employment services to people with complex barriers to employment, found 70% more jobs for people with disabilities and health conditions at their Euston Road branch last year.
This substantial increase on the previous 12 months was achieved when the economy was in
recession.
Mark Lunn Remploy's Regional Director for London and the South East, said: "These remarkable
figures have been achieved in a very difficult economic climate and a contracting labour market.
They are a testament to our expertise in supporting those furthest from the labour market into
sustainable jobs."
More than 75% of the people supported into a job by Remploy have been out of work for more
than a year and nationally the company found 10,500 jobs in the last 12 months - an increase of
31% on the previous year.
Euston Road's Branch Manager Jill Smith said: "Our strong relationships with employer partners
such as McDonalds and Sainsbury's are crucial to our continuing success in the area and we
work closely with them to make sure we find the right person for the right job.
"Behind these impressive figures lies an even more important story - our ability to help people to
transform their lives through the social and financial benefits which a job brings.
"We are here in Euston to offer our range of expert services to those with disabilities or complex
barriers to work. These barriers can take many forms so we encourage people to drop into our
local branch on Euston Road to see if we can help them or a family member get back to work."
