Translink Disability Access Manager Terry Butler , said:

“The Shopmobility facility has proven to be a big hit with the public and has greatly improved access and convenience for people with limited mobility.

“We’re in the second year of our partnership with Shopmobility so it’s pleasing to see our scheme has established itself so successfully. We would also view this award as recognition of the tremendous work carried out by Shopmobility in this area.”
