Clearwell Mobility acquires two long-established mobility retailers in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire
South East mobility retailer Clearwell Mobility has announced the acquisition of two long established mobility retailers in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire.
The acquisitions increase the number of showrooms operated by Clearwell Mobility from 11 to 16 and will boost its turnover by over 50 per cent.
The Hearing & Mobility Store was established by Willie McIvor in 2008 and operates four showrooms across Wiltshire and Gloucestershire with a central warehouse and workshop in Wroughton. The showrooms stock a wide range of mobility equipment and home healthcare products.
Hearing & Mobility employs 18 full and part-time staff which help it to deliver a highly personalised service together with excellent customer support. The business is a key provider of Motability scooters and powerchairs supporting over 180 customers with their scooters and powered wheelchairs.
Founded in 2002 by husband and wife team, Andy and Angie Burns, True Mobility operates from a spacious showroom in Didcot, South Oxfordshire and employs a team of six full and part-time staff.
The business prides itself on its after care and support for customers having won the coveted Customer Service Award from Motability on two occasions. The company supports over 175 customers with their scooters and powerchairs on the Motability scheme.
The two businesses align well with Clearwell’s focus on professional assessments together with great customer support and back up.
Further investment will be made in the digital marketing of both businesses and over time the Clearwell fascia will be introduced. The acquisitions will be used as a springboard for further expansion along the M4 corridor and the West Country.
Duncan Gillett, Managing Director of Clearwell Mobility, commented: “We are delighted to have made these acquisitions. I have been really impressed by the teams at each business and how aligned they are to our own service led culture. I look forward to welcoming the staff and customers to the Clearwell family and to growing our presence in this strategic area.”
Clearwell Mobility has grown to become the largest retailer in the South East and operates 11 showrooms across Sussex, Kent and Surrey selling a wide range of mobility equipment and disabled adaptations. The company was established by husband and wife team, Duncan and Natasha Gillett, in 2004 with a single showroom in Brighton.
