Cheshire Positive Awards for Business 2009
The Cheshire Positive Awards for business originated in 2003, the European Year of Disabled People. An annual occurrence recognising good practice throughout the Cheshire business community in recruitment, retention and employment of disabled people.
 Newgate kennels and Cattery were presented with the award for supported employment at a lavish ceremony at Hoole Hall in Chester. Pictured with the award are Joel and Michael. Michael came to work at Newgate in April 2008 sponsored by the government scheme to help people with disabilities return to full time employment. Michael had been suffering from severe sociaphobia, which prevented him leaving his own home for months on end. Michael started by working for a few hours a week which slowly increased to part time and then full time employment. Michael has progressed and is now a vital part of the workforce here at Newgate and in 2010 aims to complete his NVQ in Animal Care.
