About Us
Ian Bell married Glynis in October 2012, just over 8 weeks later G, as she likes to be called, suffered a stroke whilst in America with Ian visiting her daughter. This was a life changing moment for both Ian & G.
Ian says, “From that day our lives changed, and I started to understand the difficulties faced by people who have had sudden trauma”.
We have learnt a lot since 2012 about the adjustments that have to be made when living life confined to a wheelchair. We are not experts in every type of disability but we certainly empathise with anyone in a similar situation. We have had to have adaptions made to our house to enable us to continue living in what was always going to be our forever home

“It’s always difficult to find a business to work with that you can trust to do a job well, especially when it is a whole bathroom re-fit. From the moment I started chatting to Ian his knowledge and expertise came shining through. I have got arthritis and I needed to have my bathroom re-fitted both for now and if my arthritis gets worse. I wanted to be prepared for the future.
My bathroom has been turned into an accessible wet room, and my bath has been removed and replaced with a shower. I was worried about this as I have never really liked taking showers but I love it. I’ve got a seat that I can move up and down and I have some handy hooks so I can ensure I’ve got a towel nearby. My bathroom looks so nice! I’ve got a basin unit with drawers which has enabled me to get rid of my unsightly shelves. I also have a new radiator that is bigger and in a much better place. My bathroom was always cold before but not now. I have a new higher toilet that is positioned with plenty of room either side. I’ve also got a handrail and Ian recommended putting a sliding door in which works really well. Ian had lots of good ideas to make adaptations to keep me in my home, comfortably.
The team that carried out all the work were lovely and this had been a concern for me that if I needed to pop out would I be able to feel comfortable leaving them in my house but they were super and they didn’t make as much mess as I thought they were going to either! What was particularly great about Suffolk Mobility Solutions was the fact they don’t just specialise in a particular type of adaptation. They were able to do my bathroom for me and make some modifications outside. They created a step by the front door and put in an easy access French door with a ramp so I can access my back garden.
I would highly recommend Ian and his team” – Shirley
