Gerald Simonds Healthcare

Gerald Simonds Healthcare is a specialist wheelchair and seating supplier based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The brand was first established in 1983 and has long been associated with lightweight and performance wheelchairs. Since 2020 it has been part of the Midshires Mobility Group, trading from its showroom on Gatehouse Way and supplying customers across the UK.

The company focuses on specialist mobility rather than general equipment. Its range covers lightweight folding and rigid manual wheelchairs, indoor and outdoor powered wheelchairs, power add-on drives that convert a manual chair to powered, and pressure-management cushions and seating. It stocks premium and made-to-measure brands including Quickie from Sunrise Medical, Küschall, TiLite, RGK, Ki Mobility, Permobil and Invacare, for both adults and children.

A key part of the service is assessment and advice. Mobility and seating specialists carry out individual assessments, including home visits and demonstrations, to match the right chair, cushion and set-up to each person’s needs. The company also services and repairs the products it supplies and provides genuine spare parts.

Gerald Simonds Healthcare is an accredited Motability Scheme dealer for powered wheelchairs and scooters, so eligible customers can lease equipment using their higher rate mobility allowance. With a showroom in Aylesbury, specialist representatives covering the country, and a team experienced in complex seating, the company suits people who want expert input rather than an off-the-shelf purchase.
