This week, we’re celebrating a milestone of 63 years since our journey began. Our story stretches back to 1962, when Arthur Clayton founded The Auckland Sheltered Workshop and Training Centre - a pioneering step toward creating work opportunities for neurodiverse and differently abled people in Aotearoa.

We love partnering with businesses that make a real difference - from national brands to local innovators. This month, we’re shining a light on ISpy Nits, a Kiwi company turning a common parenting challenge into a fun, stigma-free solution.

The barriers to employment for disabled people in Aotearoa are often hard to talk about. At will&able, we believe in being open and transparent about the system we operate in, and our uncharted journey towards becoming a financially sustainable social enterprise while doing right by our people.

Every business has to buy supplies and services. The difference lies in who you choose to buy from. Partnering with will&able means your procurement delivers more than just products - it generates measurable returns for your business, your people, and your community.

John spent 20 years working at will&able. He was a steady, positive presence across many different crews and built deep friendships with his teammates. But as his commute became more difficult and the desire for change grew, he was ready for something new.

The circular economy isn’t just a global trend - it’s a local opportunity. And real transformation starts in the places we live and work. That’s why we partnered with Circularity and the Wiri Business Association to launch Circular Wiri.
