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.

While most people know us for providing meaningful work for neurodiverse and differently abled individuals, what’s less widely known is that we’ve been quietly delivering circular economy solutions for over 30 years. So why are we the perfect circular partner?

We’ve seen first-hand the incredible value that neurodiverse and differently abled team members bring to the workplace. When given the right support, they thrive - gaining confidence, skills and a sense of purpose.
