About Us
We've been in the game for a long, long time. Going back to 1998, Mark (my dad) unfortunately suffered an injury that left him disabled from the chest down just before my 1st birthday!
I'm not here to write a sob story - but what this means is I've personally grown up around disability and I have a perspective and understanding that's simply impossible to replicate. The same goes for Mark. Living with extreme disabilities every day 24/7 allows us to, in my humble opinion, provide products and services with deep thought about their practicality and affordability. Something that's missed when you deal with big companies that have 50+ stores all over the country.
Why BeeUnique? What made us start this company?
To begin, Mark previously had a store in Southport which he ran for around 20 years before needing to let it go due to health complications and other reasons. Essentially, running a store and travelling to and from was too much in the end. Courtecy of being disabled - as I'm sure a lot of you can understand.
I finished university, got a degree in accounting and to be honest I absolutely hated the work. No interacting with people, no building relationships. Just emails and spreadsheets. The stuff of nightmares!
Myself and my dad decided to take another look at the mobility market. He's disabled, I've grown up around that and we understood that we can offer customers products and services that nobody else can. Thus, we got the ball rolling.
We only have a very small product selection currently - we're a new business, we don't have unlimited resources. Most importantly, we are VERY picky about what products we add to our lineup.
We will only sell something that we would consider using ourselves. You will NEVER see an old style jigsaw puzzle scooter that you dismantle and pull to pieces on our website. Would we make a lot of money selling those? Sure, they're super profitable. But they're crap. We don't do crap. We do the best.
