Down's Syndrome lad living his 'dream' after firm take him on as apprentice scaffolder

A Down's Syndrome lad is living his 'dream' after a kind-hearted building firm took him on - as an apprentice scaffolder. Todd Scanlon, 29, has been employed on a permanent, part-time basis by Coles Scaffolding Contractors Ltd., working for them two full days-a-week. Todd had "begged" scaffold company owner Martyn Coles, 35, for a job for the last two years. And Martyn, who has run the scaffolding company, based in Swindon, Wilts., for the last five years, has said Todd's disability is not holding him back.
