Life with disabilities became a whole lot easier when TPG was established in 1985 by Tony and Pam Gibbs; now run by managing director Alastair Gibbs (son) and financial director Mandy Harrold (daughter) the company still holds on to their mantra of “let our family help your family”
Their team of assessors visit clients throughout the country to provide free no obligation assessments on a range of products including stairlifts, hoisting equipment, bathing and wet room conversion, rise and recline chairs and mobility products such us scooters and wheelchairs both manual and powered. Everything you need to help reclaim your independence.
Jayme Bacon head of sales said: “Crucially for us we want to create a no pressure environment for our clients, this is why we don’t target the team or incentivise them, the only incentive they need is helping our clients get the best product for them at the best price we can offer”
Their showroom based in the head office in Plough Lane, Hereford, is stocked full of products to support with your daily life. Dave and Dorothy, who have nearly 20 years of TPG experience, are always on hand to welcome you and assist with advice on our products.
Jayme and the team answer some of most popular questions about scooters
Q. Do I need a licence to drive a scooter
A. No, depending on the model you ride there are certain restrictions that you need to know about however don’t worry. As a member of the British Healthcare Trade Association, we won’t just let you go without first giving you a free training session, so you know everything you need to know before heading out to enjoy yourself.
Q. Do I need insurance
A. The quick answer is no! However, we believe that this should change and for your safety and peace of mind we give all our scooter and powerchair clients a free 12-month insurance policy meaning you can enjoy your time without extra worry.
Q. Do I need to come to your showroom to try out a scooter
A. No! we will come to you. We understand that the reason most people want a scooter is because they are struggling with mobility so to make you come to us could add extra pressure to you. The team will happily bring a range of scooters and powerchairs out to you to test in the environment that you’re most likely to use it. Again, like all our products this is a free no obligation service.
