Episode 1: Gregory's journey

In this episode of The AccessAble podcast, we’re launching a special mini-series called The AccessAble Ignite Series, which will celebrate the incredible journeys of disabled entrepreneurs.  

 To help us kick things off, our Chief Executive, Anna Nelson is joined by Dr. Gregory Burke, our Founder and Executive Chair, who will share his story as a disabled entrepreneur.  

 Almost 25 years ago, Gregory was a young disabled entrepreneur with a vision to improve the lives of disabled people - and the drive to make it happen. With an unsecured £25,000 loan, Gregory started a business that now serves 6 million disabled people annually, supports over 500 clients, and employs over 110 people. Now, Gregory wants to extend that opportunity to someone else.  

 Gregory tells us all about the new AccessAble Ignite Award, its mission, and how it’s designed to empower the next generation of innovators. 

Join us as Gregory shares his journey and how he aims to make a difference in AccessAble’s 25th year.
