Approaching its third anniversary, Mobility in Motion is reflecting on the progress made over the past three years in the vehicle adaptations sector, while recognising that further work remains to improve accessibility in car travel.
The business was founded in 2023 with a clear objective: to make vehicle adaptations easier to access and better prepared for the future. At its core was the belief that everyone should have the freedom to travel and reach the places that matter in their lives.
Since then, the company has collaborated with disabled drivers and passengers, charities, manufacturers, suppliers and industry partners. These partnerships have focused on improving access to adaptations, responding to new developments such as the transition towards electric vehicles and contributing to broader conversations about policy, affordability and inclusion.
Mobility in Motion is also marking its first year operating from a new headquarters and factory located in Alfreton, Derbyshire. This move represented a major investment in facilities, expertise and future capacity, enabling the company to design and manufacture accessible mobility products at scale while remaining connected to the values that shaped the business.
The company says its emphasis has not been solely on growth, but on understanding how the mobility landscape is evolving and what those changes mean for people who depend on accessible driving solutions, ensuring its approach adapts as needs shift.
Matt Fieldhouse, Group Managing Director, said: “When we started Mobility in Motion three years ago, we didn’t have all the answers and we still don’t. What we did have was a clear sense that the vehicle adaptations sector was evolving quickly, and that disabled drivers, passengers and people with limited mobility needed to be part of that conversation from the very beginning.
“If there’s one thing the last three years have reinforced, it’s that progress doesn’t come from standing still, but it also doesn’t come from moving so fast that you stop listening and learning. The challenge, and our responsibility, is doing this at the same time.
“As that journey has continued, we’ve found ourselves increasingly part of wider industry conversations through sector and national media, and through recognition from within the industry itself. That visibility isn’t something we take lightly. It’s not about profile for its own sake, but about using those moments to highlight the issues that matter as policy, technology and people’s needs continue to change.
“If our voice helps raise the profile not just of Mobility in Motion, but of the automotive accessibility sector as a whole, then that can only be a positive thing. The next phase of car travel, electrification, connectivity and increasing automation, has to work for everyone. Our focus remains on learning, collaboration, and helping ensure that mobility delivers true freedom for all.”
Entering its fourth year, the organisation says it remains committed to working with partners throughout the sector, offering insight where useful, raising important questions where needed and continuing to support people who rely on accessible mobility as the industry progresses.
