Mo’s story

Mohammed Koheealle started as a merchandiser at CCEP in November 2019. As someone who’s used a wheelchair his entire life due to a birth defect, Mo tells us “no company has ever been able to look past my disability”. But he also says he’s had a good feeling about working at CCEP ever since his first interview.

“My interviewers were a little caught off guard initially, but quickly looked passed my disability. They saw me as an actual human being, and offered me my first full-time job ever. They did everything they could to make me feel comfortable, including meeting with every single store on my patch to be sure I could do the job properly, and training me to do my work from a wheelchair because it’s quite a physical role. All three of the managers I’ve reported to so far have just been incredible at looking at situations from my perspective. Honestly, they’ve been a godsend. Coming to work at CCEP has completely changed my life. I was in a dark place before I started here, but since then everything has fallen into place and I’ve never been happier.”
