It’s onwards and upwards for disability employer Kilmarnock Enterprises.
The Christchurch-based company recently discovered it won’t be a part of New Zealand’s poppy-making process, even though that contract had returned to our shores.
But now Kilmarnock has announced it’s won a contract to assemble 100,000 oil test kits for the Gough Group.
The majority of the company’s 85 workers have a disability and Kilmarnock’s chief executive Michelle Sharp says making up the kits is “very labour intensive and therefore perfect for the type of work we can do”.
