Bann Mobility report increased demand for Wheelchair rental service this Christmas

Long established Portadown mobility retailer, Bann Mobility has welcomed an increased demand for its mobility aids this festive season. The local business dedicated to meeting individual accessibility needs across Northern Ireland stocks a range of wheelchairs, mobility scooters, adjustable beds and small, but essential, aids for home living such as handrails, reachers and over trays.


These products, displayed from a showroom in Portadown, are important additions in the homes of people with accessibility needs and some prove essential in day to day living.


Founder of Bann Mobility, John Knipe, who established the local, family owned and run business in Portadown in 1985 said:


“We are delighted that more and more visiting friends and family are recognising the mobility needs of their loved ones and are being proactive in trying to improve the daily lives and experiences of people with mobility needs this festive season.
We have always seen an uplift in gift purchases at this time of year but every telephone call and every online order and drop in to our shop brings benefit to at least one person in need of assistance.
Accessibility aids for the bathroom and kitchen such as perching stools and practical gifts like wall mounted door lock safes are not always considered normal presents but, in this cost of living crisis, essential living gifts can make such a positive difference to someone long after Christmas Day.”


Jill Leeman, Mobility Service Sales Professional at Bann Mobility added: 


“It is uplifting for team morale to see first hand how people do think about and plan for the practical needs of their loved ones this Christmas.
Our Portadown office receives phone calls and enquiries from customers in England and beyond looking for ways to get their relatives and friends out and about easier when they come home to Northern Ireland to visit. Our affordable wheelchair rental service is a much needed service that clearly benefits the health and wellbeing of individuals with mobility needs. This role in helping and encouraging individuals with accessibility needs to enjoy more pleasant experiences outside of the home, enabling day trips and family visits that may simply not be feasible without the necessary equipment, really does make for a rewarding work day. We are often told all about the highlight memories made when these wheelchairs and scooters are returned to us.”
The wheelchair hire service at Bann Mobility Portadown is available from just £30 per week. To find out more visit Bann Mobility website at: BannMobility.com
