Celebrating Success and Milestones! 🙌

During November, our Mencap and Workable NI trainee Daniel was proudly featured in local newspapers and online as part of the 20-year celebrations of the Northern Health and Social Care Trust Day Opportunities Service - a fantastic milestone and well done to all involved.

This recognition highlights the incredible journey and achievements of Daniel, who has shown outstanding dedication in his role at Stena Line Limited.

Daniel’s success is a true testament to his hard work and the fantastic support he receives from Nicola and all the team in Stena Line Limited and Allen Rankin and the team in the Day Opportunities Service.

We also wish to extend our congratulations to Stena Line Limited on receiving their recent “Employer of the Month” award, a well-deserved recognition for their exceptional support and responsiveness. Their commitment has played a key role in Daniel’s growth and confidence in his role.

Congratulations and well done to everyone involved! Your dedication and teamwork make all the difference. 🌟
