Motability with Shire Mobility
The Motability Scheme
The Motability Scheme started back in 1977 with the aim to help disabled people and their families with personal mobility. Motability which operates as Motability Foundation is the charity that oversees the Scheme. Motability Operations was established in 1978 to run the Scheme on behalf of the Foundation.
Over the years the Motability Scheme has helped provide affordable solutions to over five million customers. This is supported by a select partner network who deliver the Scheme for Motability Operations. This is where Shire Mobility comes in.
