THIIS August is here, covering the latest news in the mobility, access and independent living sector. Finally it feels like the mobility sector is opening up again and suddenly we are hearing about exciting new product launches, partnerships and acquisitions. Pride Mobility’s acquisition of UK riser recliner firm Sitting Pretty is certainly one of the most exciting developments to happen in the industry. Of course, forging partnerships is also what it’s all about for Apex Medical, currently celebrating the 100th addition to its Partner Programme, an initiative it set up to offer mobility retailers access to its rotational chair bed range. Further on, as we start to see the easing of Covid-safety measures, particularly in relation to social distancing and face coverings, we find out why many in the trade are happy to hold on to these for the sake of their elderly or vulnerable customer base. Read these stories and more in the August issue of THIIS.
