SKIPTON based mobility firm, Fenetic Wellbeing is celebrating 15 years in business.

Founded in 2009 by friends Tom Appelbee and Graeme Firth, the company has grown from a small start-up in an attic in Keighley to a showroom and warehouse on the Snaygill Industrial Estate, Skipton, which opened in January this year.

Over the last 15 years, the mobility firm has expanded its range from smaller wheelchair accessories to more than 200 specialised products and has more than 500,000 satisfied customers.

It has gained a Which? Trusted Trader accreditation for more than five years.

Tom Appelbee, co-founder said: “Graeme and I started Fenetic Wellbeing with the aim to transform the mobility industry and provide affordable and high quality products with fantastic customer service. There was a clear gap in the industry with many people unable to find accessible, affordable and high quality mobility services to support independent living.

“Since starting, we’ve remained focused on bridging this gap and providing both a bespoke service and high quality products to ensure that each individual finds the right product to allow them to live safely and independently at home.

"We want to make a real difference and help remove barriers for people returning home after being discharged from hospital. Most people find being at home offers them the chance to recuperate after an illness or injury much more quickly than spending time in other care settings. It's so important that we help aid this recovery journey and support them to get home.”

Graeme Firth, co-founder, added: “It’s been a real journey for myself and Tom, from childhood friends to business partners and now managing an award winning business together. We’re really excited for the future of Fenetic and to fulfil the potential of our new showroom which offers us an accessible site which is a fantastic base for our personalised appointments.

“In 2025, we hope to expand our product offering even further, offering more exclusive and market leading products to help people in North Yorkshire and beyond to live independently."
