Tong Garden Centre benefits from mobility retailer donation


Customers at Tong Graden Centre in Bradford are set to benefit from the generosity of the UK's largest mobility retailer. Eden Mobility has donated five wheelchairs to help visitors to get about the large site safely and comfortably.

Tong Garden Centre marketing manager Jo Dales said the donations from Eden Mobility have been put to excellent use.

"We're very grateful to Eden for their continued support and we know we can always rely on them to provide an excellent service and invaluable mobility aids.

"Thanks to their help, we can be accessible to all customers, and ensure they are able to enjoy their visit to Tong."

Eden Mobility marketing manager Mark Fotherby said: "We understand how important accessibility is in the retail sector, and we believe that providing wheelchairs for customer use enhances the visitor experience.

"People often assume that it is just the elderly or infirm that require our services, but that isn't always the case: people of all ages and circumstances can benefit from the products and services that we provide."

Eden Mobility was formed in 1998 by business partners David Hughes and Karl Howe who opened their first showroom in Bentley, Doncaster. The mobility retailer also holds regular demonstrations for visitors to Tong Garden Centre.
