MOBILITY specialist TBC Conversions in Dungannon says it has seen sales of wheelchair accessible vehicles rise by a whopping 40 per cent over the last 12 months.
In the year to the end of June, it converted and sold 481 Mobility vehicles, with almost 80 per cent going into the GB market.
Established in 2006, TBC (www.tbcconversions.com) has grown into Northern Ireland’s leading vehicle conversion company and is now one of the largest retailers of Mobility vehicles in the UK.
The company, which has 55 staff, converts vehicles for wheelchair drivers and passengers, as well as minibuses and taxis for the commercial and public sector, plus specialist conversions that include refrigeration units.
David Donnell, managing director of TBC Conversions said: “Our growth is down to two factors - customer care and innovation.
“No two customers are the same and we treat each as individuals, ensuring that the vehicle conversions they require exceed their expectations.
“It’s this customer-centric policy that led us down the path of innovation.
“TBC Conversions now fit as standard its own rear door seal, the quietest on the market, reducing noise and heat loss. We have also pioneered a two-piece ultra-light ramp for ease of use.”
As the only company in the north to have attained the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Recognised Convertor status, the company is trusted and relied upon by manufacturers and customers alike.
Mr Donnell added: “Over the last year we've built a partnership and network with nearly 20 Volkswagen dealerships across UK and Ireland and plan to build on this in the coming months.
“A strong production calendar across the next 12 months, which encompasses minibus, wheelchair accessible and specialist conversions for the public and private sector will ensure future trading is strong.
“Throughout the business we employ highly qualified experts and have a commitment to engineering excellence and customer service.”
