Production engineering plus — impressions of Remploy Available to Purchase

All production engineering is a daily challenge, but at those factories run by Remploy (a Treasury‐backed, non‐shareholding industrial company, limited by Government guarantee) it combines the usual need for constant problem‐solving, with a demand for the sensitivity and dexterity of a juggler on a tightrope. For some 92 per cent of the Remploy employees are on Section 2 of the Ministry of Labour's Disabled Register (the registered disabled persons in open industry all come under Section 1), and this means that they are technically labelled ‘unemployable’. Remploy, the brain‐child of Ernest Bevin, which was started in 1945, and so celebrates its twenty‐first birthday this year, has proved that label false.
