City Mobility named ‘Best retailer in Scotland’ at annual Scottish business awards event
Inverness-based mobility retailer City Mobility is celebrating winning the award for Best Retailer in Scotland at the annual Grand Final of Scotlands Business Awards.
The event brought together all of the regional winners to compete for the national awards in their category. City Mobility had previously won an award for ‘Best Specialised Retailer’ in the regional Inverness section of Scotlands Business Awards in March 2023.
City Mobility is the only mobility business north of the central belt of Scotland that as well as private sales, repairs and service, works in partnership with Motability to deliver powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters through the national charity’s lease scheme, covering a 41,000 square kilometres from Aberdeen to the Western Isles, from Shetland to Fort William.
Carol Elliot, City Mobility’s Managing Director, along with three members of her team, attended the national award ceremony which was held in Glasgow on Sunday to accept the award.
Carol said: “On a weekly basis we hear from customers telling us how the service we provide makes a huge difference to their lives so winning this award is the icing on the cake!”
In her winner’s speech, Carol, who herself has reduced mobility, encouraged those businesses present to consider how accessible their businesses were and to make improvements.
Founded in 2002, City Mobility is the UK’s most northerly Motability powered wheelchair and scooter dealership, with a reach of customers covering just over half of Scotland. Last year, the retailer celebrated its 20th anniversary with a visit from local MP Drew Hendry who came and toured its business in the Scottish Highlands.
