We never get tired of receiving customer feedback — especially when it highlights the care and expertise of our team. Thank you to Katy for this lovely review about our seating specialist, Sean:

"Sean Mullen (Seating Consultant) – great guy, very knowledgeable, came to assess a few of our residents for nursing chairs. Interaction with the residents was brilliant 👏"

The love of pink continues 💗

Over the past year, we’ve seen a lot of pink wheelchairs heading out the door - and we’re all for it. With pink at the heart of our brand, it’s a colour we cherish.

This lovely Ki Mobility Little Wave Clik was recently delivered to one of our young customers. With a soft pink frame, vibrant violet mag wheels, and flashing front castors, it’s packed with personality and fun.

But it’s not just about looks. The Little Wave Clik is designed for children on the move, offering easy adjustability to support growth, comfort, and independence every step of the way.

Our team is at the heart of everything we do, so it’s always incredibly rewarding to receive feedback like this 💙

A huge thank you to Stephen for sharing his experience:

"I had shattered the footplate on my quickie carbon, I contacted Andrew their out and about salesman who advised me to ring Michelle at the office. To cut a long story short Michelle organised an appointment for me to meet up with Sean the engineer at Independence Mobility and 2 days later I had a new footplate fitted. Sean was waiting in the repair area when I arrived and told me to wait in the car while he took my chair and fitted the new one. 5 minutes later he was back with my chair, bringing it back and putting it back on the front seat for me.

I never go anywhere else for my mobility needs now because I don’t need to, these guys are always caring and so helpful, showing empathy all the way. If you need a new wheelchair or your current chair needs maintaining, just ring these guys, you won’t get better service anywhere I promise you.

Andrew, thank you for always being available. Michelle, thank you for listening and caring as always. Sean, you’re the rock star of wheelchair maintenance and always there when needed. Cheers Sean."

If you need support with wheelchair servicing or maintenance, our skilled engineers are here to help — just get in touch.

We recently delivered an Invacare Rea Azalea tilt-in-space wheelchair to one of our wonderful customers — and the impact was immediate. 😊

Within just 10 days of ordering, we had delivered the chair and enabled her to go outside for the first time in over two years.

Moments like this are exactly why we do what we do. Helping people regain independence, confidence, and quality of life isn’t just our job — it’s what drives our passion every single day. 🩷

We had a fantastic day at the Rehabilitate Therapy Conference at the Royal Armouries in Leeds on Tuesday.

It was great to see so many Occupational Therapists and Case Managers in attendance - lots of familiar faces who we’ve worked with before, as well as many new connections.

On our stand, we showcased the Ottobock Genny Zero, alongside a selection of our wheelchairs and specialist trikes for children. The Genny Zero proved especially popular, with lots of visitors taking the opportunity to give it a test drive.

A big thank you to ABI Solutions for hosting the event. The day was filled with inspiring talks, valuable discussions, and plenty of opportunities to connect with others across the rehabilitation community.

Our volunteers have been at it again!

Last week, a group of our team headed to Stanningley Park in Leeds for a day of tree planting with Leeds Parks and Countryside Service. 🌳

We lost count of exactly how many trees we planted, but the park will be a whole lot greener for it!

A huge thanks to park rangers Ben and Toby for guiding us, and keeping us fuelled with tea and biscuits. ☕🍪

Days like this are exactly what our volunteering initiative is all about. Trying new things, working together as a team, and doing something that makes a difference to our community, and the planet.
