Family-run mobility aids company Dolphin Lifts Western has moved!

A YEAR of great successes and milestones ended on another high when family-run mobility aids company Dolphin Lifts Western Ltd moved into a new, purpose-built unit and office.
The independent supplier of stairlifts, home lifts, wheelchair access lifts, hoists and ramps has relocated to the fully refurbished, two-storey premises in Britannia Way, Clevedon.
Based in a secure trading estate just minutes off Junction 20 of the M5, the unit boasts 4,000sq ft of storage space alongside modern office facilities, ample parking and a five-metre high drive-in roller door.
The spacious warehouse allows the company to purchase and store more stock than ever before, which in turn enables them to offer an extensive range of products with much shorter lead times.
The building is a vast improvement on the company’s first unit between Portishead and Bristol and tops off a memorable 12 months for the business.
“We are very excited about our new, modern unit in the heart of the West Country,” said Dolphin Lifts Western’s managing director Steve Wakefield, who launched the company with his wife Avril in 1996.
“The secure storage space, workshop facilities and open-plan office is enabling us to take the business from strength to strength by ensuring greater productivity and smoother daily operations.
“The past year or so has been the most prosperous in our 15-year history and thanks to the benefits our new premises brings, the future looks very bright too.”
In late 2010, Steve’s eldest son Tom was appointed director and soon after the company teamed-up with the Bristol Evening Post’s ‘100 apprenticeships in 100 days’ campaign to offer its first trainee position to Scott Coster of Hanham, Bristol.
A month later it received a Certified Quality Systems certificate in recognition of its consistently high standard of both the products and services it provides before being awarded the largest contract in its history – supplying and installing stairlifts and wheelchair access lifts on behalf of Bristol City Council.
Most recently it exhibited at Naidex 2011 – the UK’s largest homecare, disability and rehabilitation event, attracting thousands of healthcare professionals – and six weeks later was named runner up in the Family Business category of the Bristol Evening Post Business Awards out of almost 100 firms that entered from around the south west region.
