With car and van dealerships located across the North West and Midlands, Swansway Group is delighted to announce that Lewis Reed (WAV) LTD has placed orders of over 900 Volkswagen vehicles from their Volkswagen Van Centre in Wrexham!
Lewis Reed are a market leading and multi award-winning wheelchair accessibility vehicle (WAV) conversion company, as well as a select official Volkswagen WAV converter in the UK. They are also the proud recipient of Motability’s prestigious ‘Best Supplier Award’. Lewis Reed’s success has been built on the premise that a vehicle should be made to “match the person” and not the other way around whilst advanced ongoing developments continue in this area through investment in research and development. Their innovative solutions to aid accessibility deliver so many benefits to thousands of wheelchair users as passengers or drivers; a service which they enhance with unparalleled customer service.
Swansway
Group, a family owned business, is extremely proud of their commitment to the
Motability scheme and
since 2016, has worked in
partnership with Circus Starr, a non- profit organisation that brings all the
fun of the circus to the: nearly 1.5 million people in the UK whose families
can’t afford a day out together; and to the 50% of families with disabled
children, who say that the stigma and discrimination they face makes them feel
isolated.
For every vehicle sold on the Motability Scheme to a Motability
customer, Swansway Group donates £20 which enables a child and a carer to go to
a Circus Starr show.
Both businesses demonstrate
the core values of caring and inclusion for all customers, which makes their
ongoing relationship extremely rewarding for both parties.
Peter
Scullion Managing Director of
LEWIS REED
(WAV) LTD
says:
"It is clear from listening to our customers that they want
a nice-looking, quality family car with a highly functional and well-designed
conversion for the wheelchair travelling passenger. We have put in a great deal
of time and effort to ensure we deliver just that, every time, on time.
It is so wonderful that both ourselves and the Swansway Group
have worked together now for so long.
Both our businesses are family run, both work hard individually and successfully
together. Our aims are the same, to provide the very highest standards in providing
vehicles as well as customer satisfaction. I therefore look forward to continuing
our working relationship with them in the coming future.
John Smyth Director of Swansway Group said,
“As a family business, working so closely with
Lewis Reed who adds such great value to so many other families, is very
satisfying. We both understand that the purchase of a vehicle is so much more
than a means of transport; it’s a lifestyle choice, an enabler and for some, a
lifeline to independence. We are very proud to share Lewis Reed’s strong values
that ensure customers’ unique needs and wants are at the heart of all we do.
It is wonderful
to see the pride with which Lewis Reed demonstrates their caring values, and we
have been delighted to have been their Volkswagen supplier of choice for all
these years, as we know they only accept excellence. Over 900 vehicles is a
fantastic achievement for us both and bodes extremely well for both businesses’
positive future performance.”
