• Anna Gaunt

  

  Emma Harrison decided she wanted to give an A4e employee the opportunity to gain greater knowledge of the business by advertising to staff throughout the business to apply for a 12 month secondment to personally support her on a day to day basis.

  The strength of applications from all corners of the business reminded Emma what she already knew, that A4e is populated with forward thinking, socially conscious, intelligent individuals with a passion for making a difference.

  After an intensive interview process, Anna Gaunt, an Employment Coach on the NDDP Connect to Work Contract in Rotherham, was selected for the role of ‘Emma’s Assistant’.
