About Us

Colin has been in the mobility, adaptations and moving and handling business since 1985. He did his basic industry training and gained experience over a 9 year period before setting up his own businesses in 1994. Those businesses continued to grow, but when he suffered a life changing stroke in 2015 he left and along with his partner Louise started Adaptive Services which has continued to grow year after year. He brings a wealth of industry and product knowledge to the company.

Louise has a wealth of knowledge and a sound background in both the administration and finance environments. She gave up working for Cambridge University in 2015 to become Colins full time carer in the early days of his rehabilitation and was instrumental in the founding of Adaptive Services. She helps to keep the company on a sound footing and has overall responsibility for administration and financial aspects of the company.

Guy has been with us for a few years now and has become an integral part in the running of the company. He looks after the day to day operations of the business including dealing with queries from our technicians and customers. He carries out a large proportion of surveys and helps out when needed with adaptations, installations, servicing and repairs.

Steve joined the company in it’s infancy and comes with a sound background in the adaptations industry. He previously worked with Colin at his other businesses as well as spending many years as a swimming pool technician. Steve mainly deals with the plumbing side of wetroom installations although he can turn his hand to every aspect of adaptations as required.

Karl has been with the company for about 3 years and is a fully qualified carpenter. He is truly a multi-trade technician and carries out the full range of adaptations, building work and decorating completed by the company.

Sean joined us as a Junior Technician in March 2022 and very quickly became a valued, liked and trusted member of our team. He continues to learn and gain experience working alongside our trained and experienced Technicians . He is always happy and keen to help and is progressing well within the company.

Daniel joined us in late October 2023 to become part of our expanding adaptations team. He has a wealth of experience in both the building and maintenance fields. He has adapted well to life with us and has proved that no job he is requested to do is beyond his capabilities.

Jane came to us in September 2023 to work within our busy administration office, and brings with her a sound and impressive background within an administration environment. She has settled in well and is already a much trusted and important member of our team.

Peter joined us in early 2023  initially to be part of our major adaptations
team.  He very quickly proved his versatility and with training now carries
out much of our servicing and equipment testing work.

Peter still helps out the adaptations technicians as and when required.
