Talk Directs Mark Skelton helping SRSB
Mark Skelton is working with the Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind
|
When he suddenly lost most of his sight in the space of a few months Mark Skelton feared his working life would end and he was only his in 30s. But thanks to his very supportive bosses and his own amazingly positive outlook, Mark is now heading up an innovative project helping hundreds of other people with visual impairment. Mark, now 39, was the manager of a busy mobile phone shop when his sight started deteriorating a couple of years ago. He tried to hide it at first but it came to the point when he had to confess. |
“The more sight I lost the harder it was. I’d only been married for a year, I’d just taken out a 25 year mortgage and you can imagine how worried I was when I went to see my HR Manager Idris Patel to ‘fess up’. I was well aware that 2 out of 3 people who are blind are unemployed.
“Idris went to the MD at Talk Direct Zak Patel and they were absolutely amazing from day one. They decided to use what had happened to me and turn it into a positive to help as many people as possible.
