Royal recognition

Proud day as Autochair founder David meets The Queen

It was a proud day for everyone at Autochair when our founder, David Walker, received an OBE from the Queen in October 2014 in recognition of his services to people with disabilities.

Confined to a wheelchair following an accident in 1975, David invented a way of loading and unloading his wheelchair into his car so that he could enjoy the benefits of independent travel.

His invention led him to start Autochair in 1983 and our ever-growing range of products have helped many thousands of people just like David regain their independence ever since.
