About Tremorvah Industries
Tremorvah's purpose is to maximise employment and development
opportunities for people with a disability in a supported
environment in Cornwall
 Tremorvah is a supported
workshop and comes under the umbrella of Cornwall Council.
Currently over 70% of Tremorvah's staff have a recognised
disability and fulfil all support services to be found in any
business; such as sales, stores control, distribution, catering,
customer service, administration and accountancy.
 Through this variety
of work and training Tremorvah can help people rediscover old
skills, acquire new ones and of course progress both within the
workshop and into open employment. It should also be recognised
that opportunities are not limited to those people with serious
disabilities employed by Tremorvah. At present the Community
Development team, operating from within the factory, co-ordinate
more than 70 people working with host organisations throughout the
County. In addition to these up to 30 disabled people a year use
this facility to experience work often after a serious injury or
illness.
 Over 70%
of Tremorvah's earnings come from its own business activities and
an objective is to increase this percentage. Tremorvah's aim is to
be known for its supportive, caring and friendly attitude, whilst
providing competitive prices and an excellent service
History
This vibrant business has developed from a rehabilitation centre
founded some 60 years ago by Dr. William Rentoul at City Hospital
in Truro. While originally conceived to provide largely therapeutic
work, the benefits to be derived from providing gainful employment
for the disabled and less able became increasingly apparent.
The undertaking flourished and in 1985 the "Rentoul Works" moved
to its present address on the Threemilestone Industrial Estate
where it began operating under the name of Tremorvah
Industries.
Today's Tremorvah still holds true to Dr. Rentoul's vision by
providing both real work and planned development opportunities for
its dedicated and enthusiastic staff, which may facilitate their
progression into open employment.
