We are taking steps to help in the fight against Coronavirus
This entry was posted in General March 26, 2020As a caring mobility retailer, we value all our customers and staff, and always want to provide the best possible support. In light of recent events we are taking our role very seriously and have had some lovely feedback from customers and health professionals who have thanked us for being available for essential items.
We want to ensure we take steps to help everyone during this period of uncertainty in order to protect as many people as we can.
We have therefore taken the decision to temporarily furlough some of our staff members and are continuing to operate our stores with minimum staff. We are keeping our stores operating as normally for the time being as much as a few people feel this is the wrong decision, we are helping people daily who live with incontinence and mobility problems. We are not operating in the hope people will pop in to browse and flout the instructions our Prime Minister has been very clear about, we are operating because we have to, to help other people.
We want, as much as everyone else to protect as many people as possible while also assisting our National Health Service take care of people who need it at this moment in time.
We are available to help either in store or via the store telephone number. We can take orders, offer advice and listen as we understand people can be worried, we just want to help as best we can.
Thank you for understanding
We are OPEN and here to help during Coronavirus restrictions
This entry was posted in General March 24, 2020At Ableworld we care deeply about our customers and our staff. Further to the announcement made last night by Boris Johnson, the country must follow tighter restrictions on isolating and social distancing in order to beat this virus. As we provide essential equipment to enable people to be discharged from hospital, provide equipment prescriptions and supply daily living aids such as continence products we have taken the decision to remain open in order to support our healthcare services. This isn’t because we don’t care about our staff, quite the opposite, we all understand that now is a time for the country to work together in order to beat this so we are taking our role very seriously.
The NHS are currently under a huge strain to beat this virus, and we want to help as many people safely return to their home so they can to help protect themselves from Coronavirus. Our services and products are essential to many people remaining within their own home and in many cases can help customers who may need to call on the NHS services during this busy period so we are trying our best to support everyone.
We support people to remain independent such as having stairlifts installed and repaired. We also provide walkers, wheelchairs and trolleys and other mobility equipment that can enable people to remain independent within their home.
We are taking advice from Public Health England on the best course of action for our customers and staff on a regular basis, to ensure we are protecting our team members and customers at all times
All of our stores are currently open and trading usual business hours. This may need to change but we will update regularly on our website and social media channels.
We are proud to be able to help where possible during this time. We hope you all stay safe, and if you think we can help in any way please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your nearest store, and one of our team members will be happy to help.
