Last week, we headed to Hertfordshire Zoo for our highly anticipated South Mobility Day, welcoming wheelchair users, their families and carers for a fantastic day of accessibility, discovery and fun. The event provided visitors with the opportunity to explore our complete range of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) while enjoying everything Hertfordshire Zoo has to offer!
With FREE entry, FREE parking, FREE refreshments and FREE expert advice and guidance available throughout the day, guests were able to take their time, ask questions and enjoy demonstrations of a wide selection of WAVs.
A Zoo-per Day for Accessibility
Known for its diverse collection of animals, family attractions and dinosaur experiences, Hertfordshire Zoo provided the perfect backdrop for our South Mobility Day – allowing guests to turn their WAV browsing experience into a memorable family day out. To make the day even more special, customers also had the chance to say hello to the zoo’s newly arrived baby red pandas!
Valeso™ Stole the Show
Making a big impression at the event was the brand-new Ford Courier Valeso™, one of the latest additions to the Allied Mobility range.
With features including an 8” touchscreen infotainment system, LED interior channel floor lighting and a lightweight rear ramp, visitors enjoyed
an up-close look at this compact yet versatile wheelchair accessible vehicle that combines impressive Ford Titanium spec with standout wheelchair accessibility.
Alongside Valeso™, guests had the chance to explore our wide range of WAVs, from compact family vehicles such as Peugeot Horizon™ through to larger models such as Ford Independence™ and Vauxhall Venture™.
Looking for a Used WAV?
For those looking to purchase a second-hand wheelchair accessible vehicle, our expert mobility advisors also bring along RAC-Approved used WAVs to our shows.
As an RAC-Approved used WAV dealer, when you buy a second-hand mobility car from us, you will benefit from 36-months of free RAC Platinum Warranty and your first Homestay™ mobile service will also be completely free too!
Fancy Winning £1,000?
After trying out a range of WAVs, guests enjoyed some tea and cake in the sun as they filled in a prize draw card to be in with the chance of winning £1,000 later in the year. So be sure to grab a card and fill it in at our next event!
