Companion Stairlifts, with you every step of the way

Minivator Limited always sold to trade and local authorities, not to the end user. This strategy remains unchanged as Handicare's UK Acccessibility Team has no direct sales force. However, whilst they continue to believe that the Mobility Dealer plays a vital role in the provision of aids to daily living, some individuals will prefer to approach direct sales companies who sell ‘off the page.' The unfortunate fact is that a number of direct sell companies have acted in an unethical manner using high pressure sales tactics in the home.

The Companion Team first approached Minivator with a proposal requiring support for their venture to offer a direct sell service that was operated under stringent professional controls. Minivator took the opportunity to be involved with this venture to support the efforts that were being made to protect vulnerable people who preferred this method of buying stairlifts.

Companion's efforts were rewarded and the company continued to grow, ultimately becoming part of the Minivator Group when it was established in August 2004 and consequently part of Handicare in 2010.

Companion's ethical stance has also been recognised by the market as Age UK has chosen them to administer their stair lift sales scheme which has resulted in over £750,000 being donated to Age UK.
