Obam Stairlifts marks its 25th birthday with the donation of two new straight stairlifts
Independent living and mobility specialists Obam Stairlifts is celebrating its recent 25th birthday by giving back to the community through a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
The family business is donating two new straight stairlifts to nominated causes in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire to mark its quarter-century of helping people stay in the homes they love.
Anyone can nominate someone they know who would benefit from a straight stairlift donation. They might know an elderly neighbour struggling with stairs, a family member recovering from surgery, or someone with mobility challenges who can’t afford this life-changing equipment.
Chris Butroid, Managing Director of Obam Stairlifts, said: “Reaching our 25th birthday is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of. We’ve spent a quarter-century helping people stay in their homes safely and comfortably.
“This donation scheme allows us to thank the community that has supported us throughout our journey. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by – nominate someone today at obam.co.uk/birthday and help them regain their independence at home.”
Two straight stairlifts will be donated as part of this birthday celebration. The first is a new Access BDD HomeGlide Extra Straight Stairlift featuring a powered swivel seat. This model combines design and functionality for any straight staircase, with a slim aluminium rail that gives a modern, clean look.
The HomeGlide stairlift includes a retractable seatbelt for security, a comfortable soft-touch joystick that needs minimal effort to operate, and battery power so it works even during power cuts. It can carry up to 25 stone (160kg) and fits staircases as narrow as 740mm (29 inches).
The second donation is a new Platinum Stairlifts Ergo Straight Stairlift with a powered swivel seat. This model stands out with its customisable options, including an ergonomic seat design crafted for superior comfort during transit. The seat height, arms, backrest and footplate can be adjusted to provide comfort for most users of various shapes and sizes.
Obam Stairlifts states that it will carefully review all nominations and select two recipients. Each chosen nominee will receive a free straight stairlift including a 12-month parts and labour warranty. Obam will conduct a site survey before installation to ensure each recipient gets the right product for their needs and that the stairlift is suitable for the user.
Founded in 2000 by brothers Chris and Steve Butroid alongside business partners Lee Ogden and Pete Morley, Obam has built its reputation on delivering a personal and reliable service to customers across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
