A Gloucester mobility business which helps disabled and vulnerable people get around the city has been going from strength to strength. Ableworld Gloucester, in Longsmith Street, continues to grow with each passing week and a lot of that accomplishment is due to the fantastic new in-store team.

Each member of staff shares the same passion and drive for helping people and their community to maintain their independence and mobility, ensuring every person who comes into store feels comfortable and relaxed.

Store Manager Andy joined the company last year, and has been a valued ever since. Helping to build strong relationships throughout the local community and working hard to show people what we can do for them.

Having Andy onboard at Ableworld Gloucester has made the world of difference to the store. Outside of work Andy loves computer gaming, anything car related and hating mushrooms.
