Taunton and South Somerset Living Oct - Nov 2021

WHEN YOU THINK MOBILITY,
think MLE
Making Life Easier is on a mission to empower
people who have mobility issues to access the best
products and services to make their lives easier...
Making Life Easier, has its own car park at 50 The Mount, close to
the town centre in Taunton. Inside the showroom there is plenty of
space to display wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters and rise and
recline chairs for people to ‘try before you buy’. There is also ample
space for the on-site workshop to offer repairs and servicing.
In October 2020 Lizzie Biggs, a local businesswoman bought
Making Life Easier. Lizzie is determined to build on the already
excellent reputation the business has.
Lizzie says “From personal experience, I know that we often start
talking about needing help, well past the point when help was first
needed. When we need assistance with day-to-day activities, due to
a physical impairment, we find there are so many “workarounds”.
Take my much loved, late father as an example. His legs would
swell at night. He really needed a profiling bed. What he used,
was a few old pillows (which would fall off the bed when he turned
over). What about my gorgeous great Aunt? She would sleep in her
chair downstairs, but what she needed was a stair lift. How about
my very much alive and kicking mum? She needed an electric can
opener. What she did, was change brand of soup!” Lizzie went on
to explain “I wish I had known about mobility scooters, when my
darling Mother-in-law found walking any distance, too difficult. I
wish I had bought my dad a profiling bed and a bath lift. I wish I had
researched stair lifts for my Aunt instead of accepting she could just
sleep downstairs. I know about them now and I want you to know
about them too.”
ADVERTISING FEATURE
SO, WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT? It’s simple! MLE has a vision to
start a revolution. We want to talk about mobility products and to
brighten them up. We would love to see more colour and personality
added to the products we sell. To that end, we are always
researching the mobility and disability industry, so that we can bring
new and innovative products into our showroom, for our lovely
customers to try. Our mission is to help our customers live their lives
with confidence. We can do this, because we have experienced and
knowledgeable staff, who provide honest and practical advice. Pop
into the showroom or make an appointment to talk to us about your
needs and ask us as many questions as you have.
BEFORE YOU BUY - Our fully trained and experienced staff will
offer advice and guidance on what you may need. They will be
mindful of you as an individual and your personal needs. We have
even been known to talk you out of that expensive scooter as you
may not need it yet!
DELIVERY - We provide free local delivery on larger items. Upon
delivery, we make sure your purchase is put together properly and in
full working order before we leave. Need another training session?
No problem, we can do that while we’re on site too! For details on
other delivery options, please just ask.
AFTER SALES SERVICE - Unlike the Internet or buying from a
magazine, we are local to you. You can visit us, call us or email us.
We will be able to sort everything locally. We also offer a follow up
and regular maintenance service for your purchases.
