Cavendish Healthcare & Mobility

What Cavendish Healthcare & Mobility does

Cavendish Healthcare & Mobility, trading as Cavendish Health Care Ltd., is a UK private limited company (Company Reg. No. 06534461) operating a regional mobility-equipment retail business founded in 2008. It runs three physical showrooms in the South of England — Waterlooville (Hampshire, the headquarters), Torquay (Devon, Babbacombe Business Park), and Exeter (Devon, Marsh Barton) — and supports them with free no-obligation home demonstrations across Devon, Hampshire, Portsmouth, Chichester, Winchester, Plymouth and the wider South West. The company sells a broad catalogue of mobility and daily-living equipment: mobility scooters (including portable/boot, mid-sized pavement, and road models such as the SupaScoota Microlite/Sport XL/Spartan and iLiving V8), powerchairs, manual wheelchairs, single/dual/triple/quad-motor riser recliner chairs, walking aids, adjustable and Hi-Lo profiling beds, stairlifts, bathroom mobility products, incontinence supplies, nursing and living aids (including the Good Grips cutlery range), reading aids (including The Bookchair), and The Able Label adaptive clothing range.

The business generates revenue through three principal streams: hardware sales (the dominant stream, with VAT relief available for eligible chronically sick or disabled customers), short- and long-term mobility equipment hire (including a sister-company cruise-ship hire operation, Mobility at Sea, supplying P&O, Cunard, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity Cruises), and professional servicing and repairs with workshops in Torquay and Waterlooville. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; servicing is unit-priced from approximately £55-£100. The company is an appointed representative of Mark Bates Limited t/a Premier Care (FCA Register 308390), enabling it to offer regulated consumer credit alongside equipment sales. Distribution is supplemented by an accredited UK-wide partner network and by Lightweight Scooters, a sister operation providing a mobile try-before-you-buy service. There is no proprietary technology platform, no app, and no API; the competitive proposition rests on specialist in-person staff expertise, after-sales servicing, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than technology differentiation.
