Scott is one of our longest serving employees, and has been part of the team for over 18 years. Prior to this, he was working as a motorsport mechanic for track day cars and anything else fast, such as the motorbikes he used to race! He is one of our most experienced technicians and could probably fit most hoists and hand controls with his eyes shut - which is probably a good job because without his reading glasses he has to hold his iPad at arm's length to give him a chance of seeing it.

These days, Scott opts for a slower form of two wheels through mountain biking and road cycling. When he isn't doing this he can be found doing DIY jobs at home, and we are pretty sure he has rebuilt 99% of his house since he bought it. Scott is incredibly hard-working and gets through a sometimes incomprehensible number of jobs out in his van each day, and completes each one to the same high standard in rain and shine. In his own words he is fantastic because he is 'good at his job', but this is definitely a massive understatement!

Hayley has only been with us for around 10 months, but her 22 years of previous experience working in the automotive industry has already been clear for all to see. She has taken to her role in our technical sales team like a duck to water and is always looking out for ways to improve our systems. Hayley is often one of the first people you will get answering the phone and works closely with all of our lovely dealers and customers to ensure the whole process is well looked after.
Outside of work Hayley loves to keep fit through pole fitness classes and walks, and can often be found out for a lunchtime stride. She likes to cook at home, but in the office cannot resist the occasional sweet treat and is always ready to offer something from a well stocked snack drawer! Hayley brings a fabulous work ethic every single day and is always keen to learn, picking up new information very quickly. Superbly organised and a great team worker, we hope she will be with us for many years to come.

Celebrating our fantastic installer network!

It has been a very busy few months for our manufacturing team. A few years ago we wouldn't have possibly imagined Des Gosling Mobility products being installed in the numbers that they are across the country, and this wouldn't be possible without the hard-working companies out there fitting them. We couldn't even fit everyone on here, but a massive thank you to every single one of them for their dedication in providing high-quality installations. It has been a pleasure getting to know the individuals at these companies whilst these relationships grow and we look forward to many more years of collaboration!

Matthew is one of our most recent starters and has been with us for just under a year. Joining us straight out of University, he has taken on a role within our manufacturing team assisting with production and sales of our own product range. He is often tucked away producing kits, or out on the road lending a hand collecting vehicles. All jobs which go unseen to some extent, but that if weren't done would cause everything to grind to a halt.
Matthew is an avid Formula 1 fan and also a keen musician, regularly playing gigs around the country at the weekends. Coming from a non-engineering background, he has been thrown in at the deep-end but has a brilliant, open attitude to learning new things and lending a hand wherever he can. He has just got his first ever kit of tools which we hope means he is planning on sticking around for many years to come!

A wonderful review of our Easy Ramp from another happy customer who we were so glad to be able to help! Remove the everyday struggle by automating the lifting/lowering of the ramp in your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.

Matt has been a member of the team for 7 years now, starting out helping to manage our extensive vehicle database and nowadays a key part of our technical sales team amongst many other things. In his free time, Matt likes to play 6-a-side football, although it is best not to start a conversation with him and James about who is better! He has a wealth of knowledge about many of the adaptations we install, and the most regular question he gets asked may well be "Will this scooter fit in this car??", which he almost always has an answer for.
In his own words, he is fantastic in every single way. In our words, he is certainly fantastic for putting the coffee on everyday! Jokes aside, this is just a part of his general willingness to help in every way he can, which is part of what makes him a hugely valuable member of our team.

Particularly over the last few years we have all experienced how long the wait can be for a new Motability vehicle. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to hurry these up as, like Motability, we are at the whim of the factory timescales and wait patiently like you for the time when the vehicle arrives at the dealership and we can fit your adaptations.

What is important though is to consider any changes to your situation in the interim that might effect the vehicle adaptations you need. Your adaptations can be changed almost right up to when you take delivery of the vehicle, but it is much harder to change or add to them after this. So if you are waiting for a new vehicle please get in touch with us if your situation has changed and you think this may affect your adaptations 🙂

And in the meantime, we hope you know some other great films like Mr Bean's Holiday to help pass the time!

Chris has been part of the team for 5 years now following on from his Off Road Vehicle Engineering degree and a few years designing steel fabrications. He doesn't get off-road much at work though as he operates our remote site in Brackley, so is very much on the road covering on-site installations everywhere between Birmingham and North London. Outside of work, Chris loves to get outdoors. Preferably doing something active like hiking or cycling, but also keeping in touch with his off-road roots by helping out driving tractors on the farm. As every customer he meets would attest to, Chris always has a smile on his face and a plan up his sleeve for any eventuality - he even once chopped up the workbench from his own van to provide an on-the-spot solution! He takes great care with every installation he does and we don't know what we would do without him if he ever gets lured in to becoming a full-time farmer by all the off-road vehicles!
