Background-
Jack Sims has won a national award for disabled entrepreneurs after building a specialist adaptive mobility business following a life-changing spinal injury.
Jack launched Adaptiv Mobility after becoming a wheelchair user following a mountain bike accident. The company provides adaptive cycling products and specialist mobility equipment designed to help disabled people remain active and independent.
The business now works with private customers, charities, rehabilitation centres and outdoor activity providers across the UK. Its services focus on customised mobility solutions that support accessibility and independent living.
Jack received third prize in the national Stelios Awards for Disabled Entrepreneurs, which is organised in partnership with Leonard Cheshire. He said the recognition comes at an important stage for the business after it recently moved into a larger unit and prepared for further expansion.
The prize money will help the business expand operations, add new jobs, improve accessibility and invest in staff training. The company is also looking at starting apprenticeship programmes as part of its future growth plans.
Jack said the business is now in a stronger position than when it first launched and added that the funding would directly support future expansion plans. He stated that moving into the new unit has helped the company establish a stronger foundation for growth.
The award highlights growing support for inclusive businesses and entrepreneurs developing services that improve accessibility and mobility for disabled communities across the UK.
