Let me explain why. The show is a fantastic show case for 1000’s of really useful but functional items, designed by some really clever engineers. But what struck me was the lack of aspirational offerings to a consumer group who are obviously just as discerning as the wider population. Of course there were other kitchen manufacturers there, but Adam’s kitchens were the only products I saw in any category that really looked and felt great, as well as doing the job they were designed to do.

This is exactly how I see Q Well Being positioning itself beautifully designed luxury apartments that are also incredibly functional.

I was really impressed with the equipment and how it was easily changeable for use by both disabled and able bodied alike. We will use some of this equipment in our development

It was also worth nosing around in the changing rooms to see the facilities there. I was less impressed here, I think we will be able to do much better at Q Well Being.

It was useful to see the ramp into the pool and this will definitely be incorporated in to our pool. Interestingly though Paul Smith of the SIA, said that certain types opf wheelchairs float! So we will have to choose carefully.

From there we went to The Thermae Bath Spa in Bath (ironically!) and wow what a fantastic experience; not only is the architecture superb but so was the accessibility of every facility apart from the rooftop pool where we couldn’t work the hoist! Also there was no bed in the changing room for Adam to get into his swimming gear. Even though the facility is impressive it stressed on us the importance of thinking of every detail to ensure the experience is enjoyable and not frustrating for the disabled user!

Well in 16th April 2009 Savvas, Tanni and the Mayor of Larnaca launched the Q Well being Accessible beach to the TV and press in Cyprus! It is not built yet but will be soon.
