Meet The Team At Ableworld Gloucester

This entry was posted in August 15, 2023

Ableworld Gloucester have been going from strength to strength this past year, and continue to grow with each passing week and a lot of that accomplishment is down to our fantastic new in-store team. Each member of staff shares the same passion and drive for helping people and their community to maintain their independence and mobility, ensuring every person who comes into store feels comfortable and relaxed.

So, we thought now would be the perfect opportunity to introduce the faces behind the success of Ableworld Gloucester store, and the reason their customers in-store experience is so heartening to both parties.

Store Manager Andy joined the company last year, and has been an asset to the Gloucester team helping to build strong relationships in the local community and getting our company name out there. Before Ableworld ‘’I worked in the food sector but really wanted a career change where I could help people and feel like I really made a difference. I love that in this job, I now have the time to actually talk to customers and build a personal relationship with them too’’. Having Andy onboard at Ableworld Gloucester has made the world of difference to the store. Andy loves computer gaming, anything car related but hates mushrooms, so next you’re in store why not ask him what mushrooms ever did to him?!

Meet Stuart, our deputy store manager, his favourite aspect of the job is seeing how happy customers are when they leave the store with the right product for them and their needs. ‘’Why did I choose to work for Ableworld? To get back to my roots and actually help people in a way no other job can - help people maintain their independence’’. Alongside his love for helping people, Stuart’s love for animals is second to none, he has a small menagerie at home of birds, fish, dogs and more, with so much to give were very happy Stuart’s part of our Ableworld Gloucester team.

Meet Bridget, our newest team member at Ableworld Gloucester, she loves rugby, supporting our local Gloucester Rugby club. Bridget said ‘’I chose to work for Ableworld because I had 16 years care experience under my belt and felt it would be the perfect fit.’’ We feel Bridget has fit right into the team and are excited for her care industry knowledge to set Gloucester store aside from its competitors even more.

We are very excited for what our Ableworld Gloucester team can achieve in the coming year and the team can’t wait to welcome new and familiar faces into store. You can find Ableworld Gloucester store at 1 Longsmith Street, Gloucester, GL1 2HJ. If you need to contact Gloucester store beforehand, please ring 01452 915086.
