🎄 Usel Christmas Breakfast 2025 🎄

Yesterday, our whole Usel team came together for our annual Christmas breakfast a special chance to connect as one company ahead of the Christmas break. It was a great opportunity to reflect on another year of impactful work supporting people with disabilities and health conditions into employment.

A big thank you to Scott (CEO) and William (Chair of the Board) for sharing their appreciation and recognising the dedication of the incredible staff throughout the year.

We also marked a very special moment as we said farewell to Gerry McShane, who is retiring after an amazing 38 years of service. Gerry has made a lasting contribution to Usel and will be truly missed by all.

No Usel Christmas breakfast would be complete without our annual bingo competition which was a big hit despite it deciding to crash on us halfway through! 😄

And finally, congratulations to Moya and Maria, our raffle winners, who took home a signed Northern Ireland football shirt and a festive hamper.

Big shout out to Lauren & Louise in HR who planned everything , a perfect way to head into the festive season. 🎅✨

🎄✨ The festive season is in full swing at the USEL Factory!
In the lead-up to Christmas, the factory has been buzzing with activity.

From assembling furniture for our partner Zeus Packaging, to carefully packaging customer thank you boxes with The Workwear Co., it’s all hands on deck.

We’re proud to support our partners and customers during this busy season, making sure every detail is handled with care. 💪🎁🛠️

Our learners enjoyed a fantastic trip to the theatre to watch Jack Frost and what an experience it was! ❄️🎭

From beginning to end, there was laughter all around. The cast kept the audience thoroughly entertained, clearly enjoying themselves just as much on stage as we were in our seats. The performances were brought to life with stunning vocals, and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better… the disco ball descended, transforming the theatre into a North Pole party! 🕺✨

It was a wonderful opportunity to help our learners build confidence and feel comfortable attending events like this, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day out.

✨ Celebrating Sewing Success ✨

At Usel, our team is a diverse, close-knit family and at the heart of what we do is our incredible industrial sewing crew 🧵💪.

This dedicated team crafts bespoke, handcrafted items for a wide range of customers from the Great British Kayak team 🚣‍♂️ to emergency services across the UK 🚑🚓.

Their work demands patience, precision, and consistent practice, skills few possess and even fewer hone to perfection.

At Usel, our sewing department also provides meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and long-term health conditions 💜🤝. It’s a supportive, inclusive, and empowering environment where talent is celebrated and every stitch tells a story.

Below, you’ll find some images showcasing the outstanding products our team creates each one a testament to the dedication, care, and artistry behind every stitch hence why they continue to receive big orders from nationwide brands ✂️🌟.

✨ Skills for Life & Work Christmas Pop-Up Shop was a success ✨

On Tuesday and Wednesday, our young people took over The Foundry Café, turning it into a buzzing festive marketplace filled with community spirit. 🎄💫

For the learners who took part, it was a powerful moment to step forward, be seen, and showcase what they’re capable of.

They planned, created, priced, displayed, served customers, handled money and most importantly, they believed in themselves. ❤️

Opportunities like this help build real-world skills, independence, and pride. They remind our young people that they have talents worth sharing and a voice worth hearing.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported, chatted, or bought something. Your kindness makes a big difference.

Here’s to more opportunities, more growth, and more moments where our young people shine. 🌟

Gerry’s Story: The Power of Inclusion on the International Day for Persons with Disabilities 💙🌍

As we mark the International Day for Persons with Disabilities, we’re proud to celebrate the remarkable 38-year journey of Gerry McShane, who retires from Usel at the end of this year 🎉.

Gerry joined us in 1987 after ten years of unemployment, beginning with a six-week work experience placement that became a true turning point in his life. He was surprised—“in a great way”—to be offered a job, and quickly found himself in a workplace where everyone supported one another 🤝. From the brush department to recycling, and also into admin roles, Gerry embraced every opportunity Usel encouraged him to try 💪.

Throughout his time here, Usel provided the support Gerry needed to grow. When he moved into admin, he struggled with literacy, but staff worked alongside him to build his skills and confidence 📘✨.

That support helped Gerry become more outgoing and independent, and most importantly, helped him find a sense of belonging. He built lifelong friendships and became part of a community that understood and catered to his needs ❤️.

Gerry’s story shows how inclusive employment transforms lives, helping people discover strengths they never knew they had. As he begins his well-earned retirement, with plans to volunteer (and keep up with Emmerdale! 📺), we celebrate Gerry’s dedication and the power of inclusion at the heart of Usel’s mission.

Massive congratulations, Gerry, you will be truly missed! 👏💙

Skills For Life & Work Take on the Xmas Market!

The SFLW students had a festive trip to the Belfast Christmas Market to practice using money and get more comfortable in busy, crowded spaces.

They enjoyed a walk all the way from Usel to the market, where everyone had a fantastic time exploring, picking out treats, and enjoying something warm to eat on the chilly winter morning.

After visiting the market, the guys stopped at Castle Court for some food before making their way back to Usel HQ.
