MeIncluded at Naidex April 2018

MeIncluded were proud to be there at our first Naidex event - Europe's largest and most established event for the disability sector.

We were overwhelmed with the support we received from visitors and fellow exhibitors alike for our ambition to create the largest accessibility review website in the country.

CEO and co-founder Caroline Wells - see left with Simon Chapman (fellow co-founder) gave an inspriring talk on how MeIncluded will be taking the voice of the customer to businesses so they can improve accessibility in the UK.

On Wednesday Caroline was on a distinguished panel providing information on best practice and opportunities for disabled people in the workplace.

We met some great people with incredible ideas and initiatives on how to improve accessibility and we came away even more determined to make our initiative a success.

Finally, we think we probably would have picked up 'Most Favourite Free Pen of Naidex 2018!' They went like hot cakes, so if you were kind enough to take one, please remember to leave feedback about your accessibility experiences on our free and easy to use website.
