About the solution
Alex founded Freedom One Life in 2013 because he was not able to find a reliable power wheelchair in the market.
“Mounting frustration and disappointment with powerchairs that failed to meet not just his needs but the needs of other powerchair users he knew gave Alex an idea. He was inspired to begin work on creating a superior powerchair of his own. After a series of prototypes, the Freedom One Life Series 5 powerchair was born. We think you’ll agree it is one of the most robust, comfortable and overtly desirable powerchairs ever created. Alex spent years researching and developing Freedom One Life powerchair prototypes. He road-tested them over 10,000 km in real-world conditions. Real-world because he travelled the world, from his home in Scotland to North and South Korea, to China, Australia, America, to Europe and beyond, living his life and at the same time improving his designs for a powerchair that would excel in comfort, functionality and reliability”, says on the official website.
In 2016, Alex was joined by Albert Nicholl, an experienced business operator in the mechanical devices sector to support the company’s commercialisation. They were able to get funding.
