LEWIS REED (WAV) LTD is celebrating winning an award for its work with Motability Operations, the business behind the Motability car, powered wheelchair and scooter schemes for disabled people. The accolade, awarded at the sixth annual Motability Supplier Awards, recognises excellence, efficiency and innovation.
LEWIS REED (WAV) LTD accepted the winning award for Best Motability Suppliers Award 2011. They were highlighted by Motability Operations as one of the businesses supporting the service provided to over half a million Motability customers in the UK. With award wins and commendations ranging from those for individual car dealers and car manufacturers, to specialist businesses that convert cars to make them wheelchair accessible, the awards celebrate the diversity of the Motability car, powered wheelchair and scooter schemes.
Mike Betts, chief executive, Motability Operations, commented:
“The Motability Scheme delivers a service that enhances the lives and opportunities for disabled people and their families. The Supplier Awards recognises the performance and consistent excellence across the different types of businesses and people who deliver that service to our customers. Ranging from those involved in face-to-face customer service, to those who deliver the behind the scenes logistics of the scheme, all winners and commended businesses and individuals are united by their high standards.”
Areas that the Judges particularly highlighted for this award included recognition of the sensible advance payments, great design and build quality, and praise of the flexible approaches to customer needs.
To win this award, Lewis Reed has developed products that really differentiate them from their competitors, offer a wide choice of different wheelchair access arrangements, and have built up a very strong reputation for their customer service.
A special mention goes to the team at Lewis Reed for providing Motability customers with loan vehicles free of charge when faced with supplier delays, and for the work of the managing director, Peter Scullion, in coordinating the developments of new standards that will benefit all users of WAVs, including Motability customers, when they are introduced next year.”
As well as the award for Best Supplier Award there was a further 13 awards presented at a business session hosted by broadcaster Huw Edwards on 8 July 2011. In addition to one winner in each category, there were also commended businesses and individuals.
Celebrating their Motability Supplier Awards win, Peter Scullion, Managing Director from LEWIS REED (WAV) LTD said:
“To win a Motability Supplier Award in the Best Supplier Award category is simply fantastic, particularly against the stiff competition that the awards are renowned for. LEWIS REED (WAV) LTD is thrilled to have this professional recognition and an award-winning partnership with Motability Operations.”
Motability Operations manages the worry-free Motability Scheme for disabled people and their families. Anyone who receives the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement can exchange this monthly payment for a brand new car, powered wheelchair or scooter through Motability.
