Proud to represent @fujitsu_uk at Assistive Technology round table discussion yesterday and the role it can play to address the disability employment gap. Thanks to @LeonardCheshire & @CatGowers for the kind invitation. #AnythingPossibleWithRightTechnology
A hugely constructive conversation with @SeemaMalhotra1, @JustinTomlinson, @korn_peter, @hminto, @TobiiDynavox and @MySense_ai amongst others, about AT and the workplace. It has the potential to unlock so much #UntappedTalent #TalkingAssistiveTech

Delighted to be one of the Fujitsu #dragons , listening to the inspiring project work that @NEF_UTC students have been working on for us over the last couple of months. Some amazingly creative ideas, look forward to seeing these develop with @FujitsuStar
Today our students had the opportunity to go to the Fujitsu site in Warrington to pitch to their 'Dragons' on a project they have worked on this term. Well done winners! @FujitsuStar #ThisIsMine #SchoolButDifferent
