Now structured as an employee-owned business, it supplies, hires, services and repairs a broad range of equipment and is a member of the British Healthcare Trades Association and a Motability Scheme dealer.

The product range covers mobility scooters, manual wheelchairs and powerchairs, stairlifts, riser-recliner chairs, adjustable beds, patient handling equipment, ramps, walking aids and bathing and toileting aids, with brands including Rise and Recline, Repose, Electric Mobility and Invacare. As well as outright sales, Shire offers reconditioned stairlifts and a hire service for scooters, wheelchairs, chairs, beds and patient handling equipment, which suits short-term needs.

Assessment and aftercare are central to the service. The team carries out assessments and product selection for customers and healthcare professionals, including home and care-setting visits, and provides installation, servicing and repairs across the range. The company is also an FCA-regulated insurance broker, so it can arrange cover for equipment.

For people who want an accredited, established supplier with three showrooms, proper assessments and the option to hire as well as buy, the company offers a comprehensive local service.
