Roger\u00a0<\/b>joined the firm as one of Direct Access’ staple accessibility consultants in 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

From humble beginnings as a Crew Member for Wimpy Fast Foods in Walsall, Roger studied on the side at Walsall College and soon achieved a degree in Electrical\/Electronics Engineering. Roger then worked for over 10 years in this field before seeking out roles where he could work directly with Deaf people.<\/span><\/p>

Roger was later enlisted taken by the Sense National Deafbind Ruebella Charity, where he worked for 7 years managing Deafblind Services in Walsall and Sandwell, before leaving his position for another charity, the RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People).<\/span><\/p>

Roger remained here for over 20+ years, with responsibilities including Operational Manager and Development Manager. Hoping to work more closely in roles which support a wide range of disabled people, Roger joined us at Direct Access, and the rest is history.<\/span><\/p>

Roger has worked in a vast number of voluntary roles to improve life for people in his local community, including Wolverhampton Healthwatch, the Soup Kitchen at Bethel Lighthouse, and various other community support organisations.<\/span><\/p>

He is a proud husband and father of 4 two girls and two boys.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
