Autism Awareness Day 2022 - Obart Pumps Limited

On Saturday, it was Autism Awareness Day. We wanted to raise awareness about this subject as well as reduce the stigma on hiring individuals with autism by talking to our Warehouse Team Leader, Louis, who was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 20.
Louis has a photographic memory, which he uses to his advantage during work. It took him 6-7 months to learn our 1,300 pump pallet locations. He explained how his mind works in remembering these aspects. ‘Numbers are something that I find I can memorise quite easily. I take a letter or a number off the pumps name, for example a ‘KTV2-50’. I’d take ‘5’, then take a number or letter off the racking location, which could be ‘A-A-0-1’, I would take the ‘A’ for example. I’d then put the two together which helps me associate which pump is where.
