Poundland

Poundland is a British variety store chain with over 800 locations, an online store and employs over 17,000 people. 

In 2022, Recite Me and Poundland started working together to help close the disability employment gap, ensuring that everyone regardless of abilities could apply for a role at Poundland. A year later, Poundland furthered its commitment to inclusion, taking on Recite Me across its main website to create a barrier-free shopping experience.
