He has developed a broad range of knowledge in manual chairs too, and is more than capable dealing with any technical queries.

Her dedication to making the world a more accessible place aligns perfectly with EPC Wheelchairs' commitment to helping customers have a full and active life.
Jack Stanton - Assessor
Jack has many years of experience in the wheelchair industry and is a wheelchair user himself. He has previously worked for V-Trak, who produce custom backrests for Permobil chairs such as the Panthera range.
