Our story

Told not to try. Built it anyway.

Phil contracted Q fever on his third tour of Afghanistan and came to rely on a powered chair. He went on to compete at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, and worked with the AMRC at the University of Sheffield and then Supacat to build the chair he needed.
