The Face behind GaryB

At GaryB our Vision is to create a better life for wheelchair users. We offer you the opportunity to bring a little more comfort into the life of your loved one. This is supported by our range of products that are purposely designed to enhance their life, keeping them warm and dry, while giving them a sense of style and getting them noticed for all the right reasons. Our products may not be Life Changing but without question are Lifestyle Changing.

Gary, our first child was born prematurely at twenty-seven weeks.  He spent six long months in hospital and endured many, many complications. Gary suffered profound Global Developmental Delay, from multiple disabilities and Chronic Lung Disease, which made him very susceptible to chest infections. The lack of suitable products on the market made life in bad weather very difficult, so GaryB Wheelchair Accessories was a business I set up to serve this need.

Gary inspired me, and the concept for my products was born from a desire to offer him more warmth, choice and colour in his wheelchair accessories.

Very sadly my gorgeous Gary died in 2016 aged 16 after a short illness. He led a full and exhilarating life despite his disabilities and was cruising on the Ovation of the Sea in April shortly before he died. He is desperately missed…. We are very proud of the legacy he has left behind, keeping many of his friends and his disabled family warm and cosy. This couldn’t have happened without him. His place in history!!!!

It’s been over 10 years since  we developed the first GaryB Blanket and we have gone on to develop a range of other related products like the range of specialised GaryB Dribblers. We now produce a range of blankets and dribblers specifically designed for the disabled and elderly. The blankets are warm, waterproof and fashionable and the dribblers are super absorbent, completely leak proof and are age appropriate and discreet.

We want to offer you the opportunity to bring a little more comfort into the life of your loved one. We offer you value for money in the form of hard wearing, long lasting, durable products that will stand the test of time through repeated everyday use and daily washing and drying. We know finding practical, functional and durable products that are also fashionable and show personality can be difficult – but with GaryB we’ve got you covered!
