Constables Mobility sponsors disabled motoring awards

Oct. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- The event, which was held at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire, saw a host of awards being presented to companies and individuals for innovations designed to help disabled people.

David Constable, Managing Director of Constables Mobility, presented the award for the best mobility product award to www.Access4Wheelchairs.com for their revolutionary stair-climbing wheelchair.

As well as announcing the awards, Helen Dolphin, Director of Policy and Campaigns for DMUK, gave an update about the charity’s Baywatch and sled-test campaigns.

Three paralympians, including triple gold medal winner in dressage Sophie Christiansen, bronze medallist and wheelchair tennis player Louise Hunt and discus English record holder Kieran Tscherniawsky, were also honoured at the award ceremony. They helped the charity launch a new initiative called ‘Look for the Label’ which will help disabled people and their carers identify whether wheelchair accessible vehicles have been properly crash tested. Constables Mobility is the first convertor to start using the labels and others are expected to follow soon.

David Constable, Managing Director of Constables Mobility, said: “We were absolutely delighted and proud to sponsor DMUK’s annual awards and to meet so many inspiring and talented individuals. The charity is doing some great work, particularly in the area of vehicle safety and parking.”

Constables Mobility is one of the UK's leading manufacturers and suppliers of rear access wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) for one or two wheelchair users and has the largest range of flexible seating options in the industry.

Constables combines expertly engineered conversions with affordable prices to give people who travel in their wheelchairs, other passengers and drivers alike the choice and flexibility to meet their personal needs.
