What Quest does
RMS Limited is a privately held British mobility and rehabilitation equipment manufacturer and supplier (legal entity: RMS Limited, Company Number 03328185, registered in England and Wales), headquartered at Thompson House, Unit 10 Styles Close, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME10 3BF. The company states it has almost 50 years of experience supplying posture and mobility products to three customer groups: the NHS, trade professionals, and private individuals across the UK. Its product portfolio covers seating systems, wheelchairs, buggies, walkers, standers, adaptive trikes, accessories, replacement components, and the Frame Runner assistive running device, which is manufactured by Italian partner Ormesa and distributed by RMS in the UK.
The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining a nationwide field-sales team of expert product specialists who conduct free assessments and direct engagement with NHS and trade buyers, alongside a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at rms-rehab.co.uk that accepts mainstream digital payment methods (Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Mastercard, Visa). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of mobility and rehabilitation equipment; pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are obtained by contacting the sales team. The website also exposes a Product Builder configuration tool and a downloadable Product Catalogue (Edition 10, January 2025) and Paediatric Catalogue to support clinical and consumer purchasing decisions.
RMS is an England-and-Wales-focused business with no disclosed parent company, no disclosed investors, no public ticker, no subsidiaries, and no reported funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes in the source data. The company is described as actively operating with an active website, current product catalogue, and ongoing customer-facing sales channels. Ownership, financial scale, and headcount are not disclosed in the input material beyond the firmographics block, which provides limited and partly inconsistent signals; as a result, financial benchmarking should be treated as indicative only.
