Growing mobility business keeps Courier Country on the move!

AFife-based family-run business has expanded by opening its third shop, making it even easier for customers to access their wide range of mobility equipment, nursing aids and services all over Scotland.

Fairprice Mobility was started by John Thomson over 18 years ago in his garden shed. He worked on his own selling, servicing and repairing wheelchairs and scooters. Then in 2005 he added easy access bathrooms and wet rooms to his portfolio.

John then decided it was time to open Fairprice’s first shop in Kirkcaldy and over the years, members of his family joined the team.

The business now has 18 staff members and covers most of Scotland, including the Highlands and islands, Aberdeen and the Central Belt. Due to their high level of service, expertise and products Fairprice now provides equipment and services to hospitals and care homes.

In September 2016, John decided the time was right to open a second store and chose the Fair City, Perth, as its next location. Then at the end of February this year, the Forfar shop opened its doors.

But if you can’t get to Kirkcaldy, Perth or Forfar don’t worry, as John and his team do home visits at a time to suit the customer.

They do all the measuring and assessment they need to provide you with a free quote and they bring equipment to the customer so they can try them in situ and make sure it is the right one for them. John’s staff even do all the fittings, so there’s no need for third party contractors to get involved.

They also buy second-hand equipment, so if you have a stair lift, wheelchair, scooter or bathroom equipment you no longer require, Fairprice might be interested in it.
