Disability employer Shelforce and Birmingham City Council have been nominated for the MJ Achievement Awards ‘Innovation in Building Diversity and Inclusion’ award.

The MJ Achievement Awards recognise the best local government services and personnel. The window and door fabricator, part of Birmingham Council’s City Housing, has been shortlisted as one of five finalists and will now face the second stage of the judging process before the winner is announced at a gala ceremony in June at the Park Plaza Westminster.

Shelforce business manager Howard Trotter, pictured, said: “It was brilliant to get through phase one to make the final shortlist, and we are looking forward to illustrating our ability, ingenuity and performance to the judges.”

Shelforce employs 75% disabled people as a disabled workforce hub at Birmingham City Council.

The award is not the first recognition of its special role in the community. Last year, it won Outstanding Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion at the Asian Business Chamber Awards https://www.the-glazine.com/?p=4866 as well as the Chamber of commerce awards in “Excellence in people development” “Outstanding contribution to diversity and Inclusion,” “British regional Chamber of commerce Equality Trailblazer,” and “Business of the year” in Greater Birmingham.
