A big factor that motivates an individual to purchase a stairlift is their mobility. Individuals can have difficulty using the stairs, impacting their independence. A stairlift can be a great help in this respect. With technological advances, it is now possible to have a stairlift with a power swivel chair.
Who should use a Stairlift?
A stairlift can be used by anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs at home and would like assistance in helping them access upstairs safely and independently.
What is a Powered swivel seat?
When using your stairlift and you arrive at the top of the stairs, you will want to swivel your seat toward the landing for a safe exit. In some cases, pushing a lever to manually swivel the seat may not be possible, therefore there is an option to choose a powered swivel seat. The powered swivel will automatically turn your stairlift seat toward the landing when you have reached the top of the staircase.
Advantages of a Powered swivel seat?
Easy on and off: The automatic swivel facing away from the staircase makes it much easier and safer to get on and off the swivel without the worry of falling.
Manual vs. Power Swivel:
A user of a manual swivel seat needs to manually turn the chair at the top of the stairs, which can be difficult or dangerous for those with weak core strength or coordination. An individual with a power swivel can turn the chair as necessary, making getting on and off much easier and safer for those who may have complications when using a manual swivel seat.
Safety: All Stairlift chairs comes fitted with a seatbelt to help the user to stay secure in the chair. This ensures maximum safety for the user and peace of mind for family members too. For additional safety, certain stairlift models come with a manual override for emergency release to improve stairway access if required too.

To help welcome in the new year, we have curated a roundup of everything Ableworld got up to in the year 2023. Time may have flown by but in reality, it has been one of the busiest years to date for the Ableworld brand.
Ableworld Expansion
At the start of 2023, we opened our new UK store in Thatcham, located in the county of Berkshire. Our 39th store was a successful addition to the Ableworld organisation since opening its doors back in March, along with the added benefit of increasing our presence in the South East of England.
We managed to expand upon our venture into franchising this year, by adding a third store to our South Wales franchise as well as create a new franchise based in Leeds. On Friday the 10th November we helped launch a new store in Newport South Wales, to take owner, James Studdart’s tally to a total of three. We know Ableworld Newport was the perfect spot, as their team as already helped so many people within the community.
Within less than a month after, Ableworld launched an entirely new franchise based in the city of Leeds. Andy Gorrie, is now the proud owner of an Ableworld franchise, successfully opening his doors to the public on the 1st December with the hopes of expanding further, in the future.
2023 also saw two of our stores relocate to bigger premises, enabling them to serve a larger number of customers with ease. It also marked a celebratory moment for each store as they had out-lived and out-performed their current location, now their new stores offer a much greater challenge.
Ableworld Reading were the first to move, back in the month of June. They were followed closely by Ableworld Burton who moved to a much more suitable and accessible location in the middle of July.
It has been an incredible 12 months of expansion for the Ableworld family, and we hope to see it carry on throughout 2024.
Celebrations
Aside from our expansion throughout the year, we had other reasons to celebrate. Two of our Area Managers were promoted to new positions within the Ableworld company, with both becoming Regional Managers. Lee Hollis is now in charge of our stores in the north of England meanwhile Rob McClelland will be responsible for all of the stores in the South. Both Lee and Rob were delighted with the promotion and have shown great determination to ensure their stores perform to the best of their abilities.
Ableworld stores supporting their community
Each year our fantastic store staff work extremely hard to ensure the community benefits from supporting our stores across the country. Ableworld’s mission is to help people live a more independent life, and its not just through the products we sell that we can achieve this. Throughout the year 2023, stores across the country raised money for countless charities in their area, such as MacMillan, Alzheimer’s society, Midlands Air Ambulance Service.
Several donations were made to local businesses and people throughout the year and Ableworld were there to help! At the start of the year Ableworld donated 20 new inner wheelchair tubes to the Newcastle Wheelchair Rugby team who play at Blythe Sports Centre, Ableworld Crewe donated a wheelchair to the Lindsay Leg Club, an organisation dedicated to people suffering from or at risk of chronic leg disease.
The Head Office also got involved by donating a bunch of food to the local Foodbank in Nantwich, it was a huge success and is something we wish to continue in the future.
Reflection
2023 brought with it many challenges for Ableworld but these were met with hard work and determination by each staff member, ensuring it was another successful year. We can look back at 2023 as a defining moment for the company, there is a strong sense of unity and direction for the future.
Our Managers and Franchise conferences were both resounding successes with a multitude of guest speakers to show us exactly what is happening within the mobility industry. Ableworld will now look to the year ahead as we prepare to expand our franchising goals within the mobility industry and take the company to a whole new level.
Our Winter Sale begins in the New Year from the 3rd January, you will be able to pick up some great deals. This year has been very tight on our purse strings, that’s why Ableworld have managed to maintain the same prices for our 2024 Winter Sale, as well as make a few items more affordable.
That is one of the many actions Ableworld will be making throughout next year to help curve the increase of costs we are all facing, ensuring essential mobility aids stay affordable. The new year will also see us continue to support different communities up and down the country to make sure we play are part in making life a little easier for those in need.
We hope for another year full of further celebrations and successes for Ableworld and our customers, so watch this space!
