"The resources [of the Desk-Free Workers project] are going to really support our colleagues. [They] will make it easier to learn and to continue the accessibility journey that we're on, and in turns providing a positive shopping experience for our customers."

Paul Walker from Primark will share how his organisation benefitted from our resources for desk-free workers in our free webinar on Tuesday 15 September.
