Tredegar based Mountway, one of the UK's leading manufacturers and suppliers of independent living solutions, has recently gained an exciting new customer for its Aquila bath lift, the respected Professor Stephen Hawking, CBE. Professor Hawking's scientific career spans over 40 years and his books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity and world-renowned theoretical physicist.

Author of bestseller, 'A Brief History of Time', Professor Hawking purchased one of Mountway's most popular products, the Aquila reclining bath lift, specifically for use while travelling. At just 9.6 kg, the Aquila is one of the lightest reclining bath lifts available on the market.

The Aquila has a backrest that reclines at the touch of a button and is particularly suited to users whose specific conditions may benefit from opening the seat-to-back angle. The robust and compact Aquila offers an array of optional accessories, making it flexible for use by both adults and children, and is also suitable for a wide variety of bath styles. With its lightweight, flat folding design, the Aquila is easy to move and handle and can separate into two sections for space-saving storage and easy transportability.

Hygienic and simple to clean, the Aquila also features a silver-based antimicrobial solution that protects against harmful bacteria and bathroom mould, ensuring maximum cleanliness.

Genevieve Hamlett, Professor Hawking's Care Manager commented, "The bath lift we had before was terribly heavy and very awkward. With the Aquila I can pack it in his suitcase, whereas the previous bath lift had to go separately on the plane and ended up breaking! Both the Aquila and the customer service from Mountway have been absolutely fantastic."

Since introducing the revolutionary Aquajac bath lift in 1981, Mountway's high quality, design led product portfolio has been extended to its current range which provides exceptional assistive technology solutions encompassing - bathing, toileting, bedroom, transfer aids, daily living aids and mobility products. Mountway's core products include the Neptune and Aquila Bath Lifts, Mountway Solo Toilet Lift, Serena Pillow Lift and the Etac Clean and Etac Swift shower/commode chairs.
