Giraffe Products are said to be only one of two companies in the country which makes musical instrument stands and accessories.

Now the firm at Fowler Industrial Estate on Chorley New Road, are looking for new staff. And managing director Bowling said his premises are ideally suited to people with disabilities.

He gained experience of working with severely disabled people on church trips to Lourdes.

"We feel very strongly that physical disablement should not be detrimental to potential employers opening their minds to full-time employment for the disabled," he said.

"We are constantly on the look-out for highly skilled people who, for one reason or another, have been unable to secure permanent employment.

"If there's anybody out there in a wheelchair who feels they may have the experience and qualifications in the specific areas of marketing and management, please apply."

Disco

The company supplies over 200 different product lines, including stands for most instruments from keyboard to guitars, flight cases to carry them in, drum stools, piano stools and a full range of disco equipment.

"There are far too many product lines to mention, but basically we supply everything but the instruments themselves."

Although Giraffe Products are one of the few companies making these product in this country, there is competition from Italy, Germany, China and many other countries.

"Dealing with world markets is, to say the least, very challenging. Recently we have not been helped by the strength of the pound over their foreign currencies."

The company is looking to fill the following two vacancies - ideally by someone who is interested in music.

1. A Sales and Marketing position exists for someone to deal with existing customers and generate new business. The job will involve a lot of telephone work.

2. A position in General and Administrative Management is also on offer for someone with knowledge of computer packages Sage Line 50 and Microsoft Office.
