The exhibition, held in Birmingham in May, showcased a number of excellent "next generation" stairlifts and homelifts, which represents the biggest addition to Stannah's product range in recent years.
Patrick Stannah, joint managing director of Stannah Lift Services, said:
"The strategy behind these products is to help more users with mobility issues to stay in their homes for longer, but also reach out to those people who simply want a home lift to make life easier.
"By making our mobility products more flexible and stylish we can help a greater range of people benefit from the independence a mobility product can bring. At the same time, we recognise that people are leading increasingly busy lives and that those without mobility issues can benefit from the convenience a homelift can bring."
The new Stannah products include:
• Siena -a contemporary and practical new chair
• Sadler -a stair chair designed for people with limited flexibility in their hips, knees and shoulders
• 600 rail - a neater, narrower straight rail with retractable rail option
• Stratum - designed for a range of people including wheelchair users
• Salise - a sleek homelift that can move two standing people between floors
The products have been designed to meet the needs of a broader range of people, helping to improve the quality of users' lives.
