AccessoLoo

What AccessoLoo does

AccessoLoo is a disability-led social enterprise operating as a trading style of Disability Pride NI, a charity registered with the Northern Ireland Charity Commission (registration 107513). It designs, builds, and operates mobile and modular Changing Places toilet facilities for people whose complex disabilities prevent them from using standard accessible toilets. The mobile fleet comprises named units (Michaela, Zack, Jack, Lilia, James, Francesca) built on van and trailer chassis, each self-sufficient via leisure batteries, onboard water tanks, heating, and — on newer Finley class units — solar charging. Modular units are permanent installations sold to councils, parks, and venues. The company also offers a Build installation service and a recurring Service & Repair line covering statutory LOLER and PUWER inspections, plus an e-commerce store selling individual accessibility equipment.

The business operates across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and Great Britain, with headquarters in Saintfield, County Down, and a GB depot in Lancashire (plus a referenced Nottingham presence). Customers span local authorities (Causeway Coast & Glens, Mid & East Antrim, Kilkenny County Council), event organisers and festivals (Boardmasters, RHS, Live Nation, WOMAD, Commonwealth Games 2022), schools (Ifield School), disability advocacy organisations (Mae Murray Foundation, My Way Access), and individual end-users. Revenue is generated through event-day hire (£480 / €480 minimum 8-hour booking, including attendant, insurance, and risk assessments), one-off modular unit sales (£20,000–£30,000), installation services (£1,500 build), an equipment e-commerce storefront, and recurring service contracts.

The company's strategic positioning rests on the founders' lived experience of disability and the resulting design credibility, combined with what it describes as a unique status as the only recognised mobile Changing Places operator on the island of Ireland. The competitive moat is primarily talent- and brand-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software, no AI/ML layer, and no patents disclosed. External funding to date consists of a 2021 UnLtd social entrepreneur grant (undisclosed amount) and Irish government funding of €28,771 routed via Kilkenny County Council for event provision — i.e. grants supporting AccessoLoo's customers rather than direct equity investment.

Broad incumbents

• Satellite Industries: Global manufacturer and supplier of portable sanitation products and services. Significant incumbent in the underlying portable toilet category AccessoLoo operates in.
• Pressalit Care: Danish manufacturer of accessible bathroom equipment (height-adjustable toilets, sinks, nursing benches) widely used in UK Changing Places facilities. Larger international incumbent overlapping with AccessoLoo's equipment store SKUs.
• Ropox A/S: Manufacturer of height-adjustable kitchen and bathroom equipment for accessibility and elderly care. Overlaps with AccessoLoo's modular Changing Places and equipment store product lines at the international level.
• Toi Toi UK: Major UK portable toilet rental and event sanitation provider (part of Satellite Industries). Larger incumbent offering standard and accessible portable units at events across the same geographies.

Direct peers

• JP Concepts (UK Portable Toilets): UK portable toilet hire company servicing events, construction and festivals. Comparable on portable restroom delivery model; not focused on accessibility like AccessoLoo but competes for the same event-hire budget.
• Clos-o-Mat (Total Hygiene): UK specialist in accessible bathrooms, wash/dry toilets, changing benches and ceiling hoists for Changing Places facilities. Comparable to AccessoLoo's core equipment offering and competes for both home adaptations and Changing Places installations.
• Astor-Bannerman: UK manufacturer and supplier of accessible bathroom equipment including changing tables, hoists and height-adjustable toilets/sinks. Directly comparable to AccessoLoo's equipment store and modular product range and competes for the same council and venue customers.
• Total Hygiene (portable toilets): UK provider of portable toilets and event washroom services including accessible units for festivals and outdoor events. Directly competes with AccessoLoo's mobile hire business in the Great Britain market.

Emerging players

• PolyJohn Enterprises: US-headquartered portable sanitation manufacturer expanding internationally. Adjacent competitor in portable restroom units that could enter the accessible mobile segment over time.

Others

• Handispace / Changing Places Consortium: UK-wide campaign and consortium driving Changing Places provision, of which AccessoLoo is a listed partner. Not a direct competitor but the policy/awareness engine that creates demand for AccessoLoo's mobile and modular units.
