Mo's story

As our Quality, Environment, Safety & Health (QESH) Co-ordinator, and Lead Accessibility Ambassador, Mo is helping us create a more diverse and inclusive business.
 
Mo first began his role as a QESH Co-ordinator working at our Edmonton site four years ago where he navigated the challenge of working safely in a manufacturing environment as a wheelchair user.
 
With support of teams and the wider business, Mo has led the charge on running necessary site audits and implementing more accessible changes to the Edmonton site, including automating heavy doors, repositioning ID touch panels that were too high for wheelchair users, and changing the signage.
 
As our Lead Accessibility Ambassador, Mo supports the business to address and implement changes to more of our sites that will allow those with a range of abilities to work comfortably and safely.

Being an ethnically diverse wheelchair user has given me a unique perspective. While i've experienced challenges, I'm incredibly proud of my career path to date - working with colleagues to make CCEP a more diverse and inclusive business.

Richard's story

Richard has been with CCEP for over 30 years, currently supporting a team of 12 technicians on the Automated Storage Retrieval System (ASRS) warehouse at Wakefield.
 
Richard has lived an active life, both by way of his physical occupation, and his hobbies outside of work. In 2020, a bike accident led to an unfortunate life-altering accident that caused him temporary memory loss, nerve damage, and a severe injury to his right leg – which ultimately resulted in amputation. Richard spent 19 weeks in the hospital, and was only cleared to return home once his house had been transformed for wheelchair use.
 
Colleagues across the business came together for a ‘Road to Rich’ walk, which saw participants walking between different football stadiums to raise funds for Richard to be able to make the necessary wheel-chair friendly changes to his home.
 
In 2021, eight months after the accident, Richard started his back-to-work programme, gradually transitioning from part-time and remote work to full-time onsite. He has also joined our This Ability programme and mobility group on site to become one of our champions for more accessible changes.
 
Richard’s story is one of remarkable strength and resilience. We’re so grateful for him sharing his journey with us.

After enduring a life-altering accident that drastically shifted my physical abilities, I'm left feeling truly grateful for how far I've come in my healing journey, and for the incredible support and encouragement I've had from my colleagues.

Donna's story

Known across the business for her impressive knowledge and experience on the factory floor, Donna joined our Wakefield site 16 years ago and has been a team leader for eight years.
  
In 2017, Donna was diagnosed with an inflammatory lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – also known as COPD. The limitations on her airflow made her extremely vulnerable when the pandemic hit in 2020.
 
Donna came down with COVID twice as she was forced to navigate a host of new health challenges. After her second bout of COVID, Donna’s lungs began to function at 30% compared to their normal levels.
 
Through time off and a planned transition back to work in the months that followed, Donna is now back full-time and hasn’t let her COPD slow her down. She recently completed her third apprenticeship with CCEP in Departmental Leadership and Management, to add on to her previous two in team leadership and mechanical/electrical engineering.
 
Donna is also an active member of Wakefield’s Disability Awareness Group, and is working alongside colleagues to consider ways to create more accessible roles and spaces within the supply chain.

The pandemic really made me slow down and prioritise my health as I navigated a whole new layer to my chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis. My colleagues' support and kindness during this time and since then really meant a lot to me.

Accessibility

One in six people have a significant disability, whether visible or non-visible. This means that the majority of us will either be part of the disabled community - or know someone who is. And people with disabilities face significantly higher barriers to accessing education, employment and opportunity. In industrialised countries between 50% and 70% of working age people with disabilities are unemployed – a figure that rises to 80% to 90% in developing countries . The Accessibility Matrix aims to overcome the perceived complexity around creating accessible workplaces, creating opportunities for this untapped talent. The Matrix is a step-by-step guide to accelerating accessibility in the workplace, based on everything that we have learned on our journey so far. It’s designed to act as a ‘how to’ for companies that are working to make themselves more accessible, and as a checklist to track their progress along the way. The Matrix unpicks some of the complicated accessibility rules and regulations, translating them into straightforward, easy-to-understand guidance.
