Lifestyle & Mobility breaks into Kent after acquiring Manston Mobility
Mobility retailer Lifestyle & Mobility is making its mark in Kent after acquiring Manston Mobility.
Manston Mobility’s former owner Steven Brown owner had decided to sell up so he can concentrate on his other business Moving Life which sells the Atto mobility scooter to strategic partners as well as directly to the consumer.
Darren Macey, Business Development Manager for Lifestyle & Mobility, commented to THIIS: “Manston Mobility was already a profitable and good business, but it doesn’t currently sell specialist powerchairs or have Motability accreditation and we know we would could compliment this current business nicely.
“Lifestyle & Mobility shall continue to support Steven and help grow the Atto throughout its own stores.”
Lifestyle and Mobility already has a large customer base in Kent and East Sussex and Darren says that the new store will offers its clients a “better and more local service” for maintenance and further specialist products.
Additionally, in taking over the new store Lifestyle and Mobility have appointed Gavin Woodward to run and oversee the store. Gavin comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry and will also become the retailer’s Specialist Rehab Wheelchair Assessor for Kent and East Sussex.
Darren adds: “We are keen to grow the team further and will be seeking further expertise to continue the upward growth in this area.
“We would like to thank Steven and his wife Jen for doing such a tremendous job in building such a great business and we hope to do them proud in continuing to grow this business and their legacy. We have more store growth plans coming up soon, so watch this space!”
Lifestyle and Mobility was founded in 2002 by Ron Sverdloff and is now managed by Managing Director Aaron Sverdloff. Last year was a busy one for the retailer after it opened a flagship store called Lifestyle in Basildon, Essex, as well as launching Nexus Rehab, a new brand with a focus on complex rehabilitation for end users at home.
Lifestyle & Mobility also has showrooms in Bournemouth, Harlow, Southend and Welwyn Garden City.
