Our Story: Local Roots. Lifelong Impact.

TravelAbility UK was founded with a purpose. Our journey began in the heart of the community when our founder—once a minibus driver for children with additional needs—saw just how difficult daily mobility could be for families. Inspired by this gap, the business began with a single scooter on a market stall and grew steadily into the go-to mobility experts for the North East.

 

What’s always set us apart is the way we serve: with empathy, speed, and transparency. From our very first customer to thousands served today, our focus remains the same—helping people move with dignity and ease.

Our Values: People-First, Always

We’re not here to sell—we’re here to solve. TravelAbility UK is built on:

 

  • Compassionate care for every customer
  • Local accountability and lifelong relationships
  • Expertise with empathy from real mobility specialists
  • Transparency and trust, always


We offer:

 

  • Free home demonstrations
  • Short- and long-term equipment hire
  • Finance options with flexible plans
  • Next-day consultations and delivery
  • Ongoing aftercare, including home servicing and repairs


We treat each customer as if they were part of our own family, and that mindset drives everything we do.
