Paralympian launches Shopmobility in Liverpool ONE

June 26th saw the official opening of Shopmobility by Paralympian, Ade Orogbemi. Guests, service users and staff gathered to celebrate the launch in new surroundings right in the heart of the Liverpool One development.

Ade, who is representing Great Britain in this year’s Paralympics in Beijing, said: “It is an honour and a privilege to launch the new Shopmobility store.”

Deputy Lord Mayor, Mike Storey, who also attended the ceremony, commented on the wonderful new premises and how great it was that people with disabilities would not have to miss out on experiencing all the new leisure and retail opportunities now on offer in the city. Other distinguished guests included Liverpool city council leader, Warren Bradley and charity fundraiser, Michelle Lewis.

Local Solutions’ Chairman Robert Owen and Chief Executive Stephen Hawkins were delighted to welcome key representatives involved in the development, along with partners, staff and volunteers.
