“Will and THC's Disability Taskforce now play a critical role in our design process. From informing the future of hospitality, to shaping the HS2 end-to-end experience, the team have inspired big innovations and detailed executions that move inclusive design forward.”

Free webinar - 25th April @ 12.30pm
Hi all!
We have been busy with some really exciting stuff over here at The Hobbs Consultancy around our 'Inclusive by Design' offering.
If we are to create sustainable change in organisations, with inclusion at their heart, we need to engage with those with lived experience of what we are trying to include.
One way we are supporting this is with the creation of The Disability Taskforce, headed up by our disability consultant, Will Pike. The Taskforce aims to actively engage with businesses to ensure they are considering all aspects of disability inclusion at every stage of their design, whether that's creative output, product design or workplace accessibility and policies.
The Taskforce has already been working with organisations like forpeople, and we're hosting a free webinar on 25th April at 12.30 pm to tell you all about it!
The webinar is hosted by THC's Roxanne Hobbs and The Disability Taskforce instigator, Will Pike. They will also be joined by forpeople Director of Innovation, Richard Lawson, who will discuss how The Taskforce is now critical in its design process, inspiring big and detailed innovations that move inclusive design forward.
Here are a few words from Will about the Taskforce:
“When I joined THC as a disability consultant back in 2021, the aim of my talks was to 'inspire' businesses to think differently about disability inclusion and help them understand why it's so important. However, I would always make audiences aware that I can only speak authentically about my personal lived experience as a paraplegic man; and that in order to fully understand the breadth of disability, they should consult people with different disabilities.
Fast forward to March 2023 and I'm excited to say that we are launching our very own multifaceted consultancy group called The Disability Taskforce. We aim to be a one-stop disability resource that can provide a broader set of insights to clients, creating more inclusive outcomes.”
We would love to see you there! Join us on 25th April at 12.30 pm - click here to register for your free place.
