Starting a successful small business as someone living with a disability

It wasn’t just Kyal Fairbairn’s love of coffee that led to him becoming a passionate coffee cart operator.

He turned to running his own business after tiring of being treated unfairly in the workplace because of his intellectual disability.

“From the beginning, starting up and running my own business was not going to be a simple task,” Mr Fairbairn said.

But while it hasn’t been easy, he loves it.

“The most satisfactory part of my job is that I am my own boss and that I have the ability to run things the way I want.”
