There are many older people who need, or want, to work, but don’t have the opportunity to do so. That was the problem which the founders of Wooln set out to solve. They set up a company selling accessories that showcase New York women’s fantastic knitting skills. Made from sustainable alpaca, cashmere and merino wool, each Wooln piece comes with a story. A tag attached to the item tells the customer who knitted it and some information about her life.

This looks like a great win-win situation. The company  get an enthusiastic and committed workforce and a ready-made marketing story, and the older workers  get some much needed employment.

If there some way you could utilise the skills and enthusiasm of older workers in your business, so that everyone benefits?
