OSEL Enterprises Limited is the parent company which links Wight Crystal, The Way Forward Programme and Working Towards Wellbeing.
For more than 30 years, Osel has helped Islanders with disabilities to benefit from sales of Wight Crystal bottled water, with profits from the drinks being ploughed back into its charitable enterprises. Osel, whose trustees are David Holmes, Colin Boswell and Carole Dennett, was originally formed because there were few work
opportunities for people with a disability and new Island projects were needed to provide hope to those normally excluded from the workforce by the nature of their physical or mental health condition.
In 1989,Wight Crystal took a natural water spring at Knighton, together with a workforce with disabilities, and began producing bottled water. Today,Wight Crystal directly benefits The Way Forward Programme, as well as Osel’s support of Working Towards Wellbeing. Tracey Hill, CEO of Osel, said:“Work placement is a key part
of supporting people to get into the working world and we are fortunate to have such a unique set-up here.”

A Word

From The CEO

“I have lived and worked on the Island all of my life and the majority of my family are based here, loving the Island and the community feel is the reason why I am still here today.

Osel is a very special place to work; the community, Island businesses and other charities give Osel huge support and make a difference to people’s lives every day!

I love my job and have a great team that help provide one of the best support services on the Isle of Wight”.
