When the time came to launch their own firm supplying and servicing mobility scooters, wheelchairs, beds, powerchairs and stairlifts, the pair made a commitment to unique customer support and aftercare service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">To celebrate this year&#8217;s milestone anniversary, Elite Mobility is offering special discounts for new and existing customers &#8211; many of whom are repeat buyers &#8211; as well as a party for its loyal staff \u2013 many of whom have been there since the beginning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Co-owner Steve said: \u201cPeople don\u2019t just buy once from us: they might buy a stairlift, a bed, chairlift, scooter and wheelchair &#8211; I have customers I have been dealing with for 25 years. It\u2019s been repeat business and recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Steve and Wayne say their &#8216;different approach&#8217; includes free home demonstrations and White Glove Delivery Service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Steve said: \u201cAfter asking the customer what theyare looking for, our team will take about seven or eight scooters in their van so our customers can try them first. Our team spend time with them \u2013 it could take two or three hours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It doesn\u2019t matter to us ifwe sell something for \u00a31,000 or \u00a310,000, it makes no difference. There\u2019s no pressure either, as our sales team are not on commission-only, they are all salaried.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We will advise you on what\u2019s the right one for you based on what you want. And, if a customer wants a product we don\u2019t have, we can source it for them, because we are Motability accredited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_KMR_BL_160525elitemobility_result.jpg\" alt=\"Elite Mobility is holding a sale \" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Elite Mobility is holding a sale (Image: Elite Mobility)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">As well as brand new scooters and other mobility products, Elite also sells pre-owned and has a good influx of second-hand equipment, so there is always something to suit every budget. the company has 22 dedicated members of staff working for them including a team of skilled engineers, running its successful breakdown and repair service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cWe have engineers who are all fully trained in repairs, servicing and deliveries, so they can put anything right. If somebody breaks down \u2013 even if it\u2019s not one of our scooters \u2013 we can fix it. Our phones are manned 24-hours a day, and we can be with anywhere in theUK within 48 hours,\u201d assures Steve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cNobody offers what we offer in the country. If youbought your scooter in London and breakdown on holiday in Cornwall, we will come to you. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are, we will keep you mobile. That\u2019swhat we have always done and that\u2019s what we willalways do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cOur main aim is not to sell, but to keep chairs, bedsand scooters on the move,\u201d added co-owner Wayne.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After 25 successful years at the helm, Steve and Wayne are now looking to the future. The businessman plan to take a step back from Elite Mobility to enjoy retirement and spend time with their families.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">But the firm is in good hands, as Steve reveals: \u201cIt is a family-run business. One of my sons works here, Wayne\u2019s sister works here, my brother-in-law works here, and my brother Michael is our manager.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It\u2019s quite a big set up. And a couple of them have been with us for 25 years \u2013 so we must be doing something right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Wayne added: \u201cWe don\u2019t have a big turnover of staff;we really appreciate our staff. That\u2019s what I am most proud of &#8211; and I am thankful for our staff and their loyalty, and for the British public for keeping us in business for all those years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I would like to thank all our thousands of customers for their continued support. I still have customers I used to deal with in my old company back in the 1990s! If you treat them right, and how you would expect to be treated, it goes a long way,\u201d added Steve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Busines owners Steve and Wayne say their &#8216;different approach&#8217; includes free home demonstrations and White Glove Delivery Service&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134945,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,59213,246,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-134944","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-mobility-impairment","13":"tag-shopping","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114577779630528713","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134944"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134944\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
