The Evolution of MobilityBuy.com
Shane Bratby is a British disabled entrepreneur and disability rights advocate, known for founding several ventures that support individuals with disabilities, including www.MobilityBuy.com.
In 2005, he launched Mobility Buy by testing the waters at an indoor market stall in Doncaster, selling mobility aids. This quickly evolved into an e-commerce platform that offered mobility aids, insurance, holidays, car hire, and a comprehensive range of disability services, including mobility cars. Additionally, he began selling wheelchair-accessible caravans to disabled and elderly customers, effectively merging online sales with valuable services.
At just 26 years old, Bratby sold his business after a robbery at his mobility shop, an incident that garnered attention from BBC News. Fast forward 15 years, Shane has successfully repurchased Mobility Buy, rebuilding his confidence and continuing to provide mobility aids and services.
