“We are also very proud that we have been able to pass Motability’s stringent checks to become an accredited supplier to the scheme.”
“Our SANGO electric wheelchairs have proven themselves to be very robust, durable and easily readjusted to suit changes in different needs. This will align itself perfectly with the worry free mobility that both ourselves and Motability aim to offer.”
