Lightweight Mobility helps facilitate clients and clinicians to source optimal products paired with tailored clinical solutions to meet diverse needs across the disability spectrum.

The market-leading company was established in 2022 by founder Sean Taylor, who along with his team has a combined 35 years of healthcare mobility and rehabilitation sector experience.

Award-winning

Sean is himself is no stranger to awards, having won ‘The Unsung Industry Hero Award’ at the Access & Mobility Professional Awards in 2018 and this latest award demonstrates industry excellence for his own newly formed company, “We are delighted to be selected to be M&S Company of the Year as this mean we are doing the right things for our customers and offering them the best product selection and support.”

“2024 has been a good year for growth and our new products from our suppliers like the Robooter Folding Powerchair have been well received. We’ve upgraded our website so it’s easier to navigate, with an online shop for spares and small aids and customers can keep updated with our news across our four social media platforms.”

“Looking to the future in the industry, we envisage more developments in special controls in powerchairs. With new players coming into the market driving product development, it’s an exciting sector to be in and we are looking to select products from our suppliers that are pushing the boundaries for innovation.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing many of our customers, old and new at the Kidz in the Middle/South/North, Naidex, OT Show and Rehacare shows. Come and say hi to us!” says Sean.

The Rugby-based company provides assessments, sales and servicing of mobility and other equipment, and helps clinicians look for equipment and trials and help with the populating of reports.

“We work with individuals, clinicians, purchasing groups, case managers, residential and nursing homes. We are not a standard mobility company that sells standard products. We pride ourselves in helping clients, clinicians and healthcare facilities in finding the right equipment that works for them and the care providers.”

“Our services then enable the clinicians to concentrate on the clinical application of these. We also have a rental service working on both a short or long-term basis for many products that enable case managers to justify the capital outlay for the client,” outlines Sean.

With a central location, Lightweight Mobility is ideally placed to help support the needs of clients living in both the North and South of the UK. Sean and his team have built-up strategic partnerships across a nationwide network which ensures bespoke local solutions, matching expertise and products to exact needs.

Giving back to charities

Little People UK was set up by a collective group including universally-loved actor Warwick Davis and his wife Samantha. The charity supports people with dwarfism and the LPUK conference is an important annual event for all members, including orthopaedic, ophthalmic, neurological and anaesthetic consultant surgeons, physiotherapists and educational practitioners, all of whom have a dedicated interest in helping people with dwarfism. Headway is a well-known charity that supports individuals with brain injuries, their families and carers and campaigns actively to reduce the incidence of brain injuries, many of which can have devastating consequences. The Child Brain Injury Trust works with children with acquired brain injury and Neurodisability through rehabilitation, education and community services.

“Sadly, every year over 40,000 children acquire a brain injury, which is one child in each classroom. The Child Brain Injury Trust helps children and their families with important rehabilitation, healthcare and access to play therapy, day trips and other meaningful activities. We are proud to be supporting this charity, alongside Headway and the LPUK.” concludes Sean.
