Managing Director, Liam Jordan introduced the Disability and Health Provider category at the online awards, and reiterated ICONI’s commitment to the employability sector:
“We know from our own customers just how challenging the last few months have been, especially when beneficiary support is primarily delivered face-to-face. It’s clear that the work of those helping jobseekers progress into work is more important now than ever. For this reason, we’re really pleased to continue to be part of these awards, and to help shine a spotlight on the achievements of all these organisations and individuals from the employability sector.
Our specialist programme delivery and case management software is designed to help support programmes to run efficiently, and effectively. Our mission has always been to help not for profits, charities and the public sector positively change lives. We’re proud that over the last few months, our customers have been able to use our software platform to ensure continuity of support to programme participants.”
Congratulations once again to Ideal to All for winning the Disability and Health Provider Award. Special mention also goes to Social Enterprise Kent whose “Let’s Get Working Project” received a highly commended in the same category.
