-
✅ Unbiased recommendations – No pressure to buy a specific brand.
-
🛠️ Expert servicing and repairs for most major stairlift models.

Meet Scott Whitworth – Your Local Independent Stairlift Expert
Leading our team is Scott Whitworth, a highly experienced stairlift consultant with an outstanding technical background and a passion for helping people maintain their independence at home.
Scott’s Story
Scott began his career in 1992 as an apprentice at David Browns, a renowned engineering manufacturer specialising in:
-
Gearbox testing and production for Challenger tanks
-
Missile loading systems for military equipment
-
Gearboxes for the British Touring Car Championship
In 2000, Scott transitioned into the mobility sector, becoming Head Engineer for a national company. It was there he recognised the need for a customer-focused, independent stairlift supplier — one that prioritised honesty, reliability, and genuine care for its customers.
In 2006, Scott founded his own business, UK Stairlifts, which has since grown from a local operation into a respected national provider of stairlifts and maintenance services.
With more than 25 years of experience, Scott’s expertise is recognised across the industry. He has even been approached by Trading Standards to act as a consultant, advising:
-
Mobility businesses
-
Disability charities
-
Care homes
-
Mobility shops
Scott’s technical skill, combined with his commitment to integrity and customer care, is what makes UK Stairlifts one of the most trusted names in the UK mobility sector.
