The Morrisons Unlock Ford Freedom™

With a range of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) available, finding the right one for you and your needs can often be overwhelming. At Allied Mobility, we won’t just suggest any car, our expert mobility advisors will listen to your needs to help find the perfect WAV for you.  

Having recently taken delivery of Ford Freedom™, we paid Lana Morrison and her dad, Paul, from Newtownards in Northern Ireland, a visit to find out how they’re getting on with their brand-new WAV.  

Where to Start 

Born with Cerebral Palsy and Incontinentia Pigmenti, a rare genetic condition, Lana is a full-time wheelchair user. Having previously had a Ford Tourneo Custom, dad and driver Paul felt it was time they upgraded Lana’s WAV but was at a loss on where to start. 

Paul tells us, “I was very unsure as to what vehicles were available and found it quite difficult to find a vehicle until we got in touch with Allied Mobility.” 

Finding Lana’s New WAV 

One thing that was important in Lana and Paul’s WAV search was the seating layout, 

“We needed a van set up so that Lana could be sitting in the middle besides her sister because Lana is more comfortable sitting beside someone,” Paul explains. 

Having listened to Lana and Paul’s needs, their dedicated mobility consultant Ryan walked the father and daughter duo through all their options. 

 “Lana was very clear as to which one that she preferred, which was the important choice!”, laughs Paul.  

And so, Ryan paid them a visit with a Ford Freedom™ for their free home demonstration which confirmed to Lana and Paul that Freedom™ was the WAV for them.  

Favourite Features  

In their previous mobility car, dad Paul had to push Lana’s wheelchair into the car manually, so one of their favourite Freedom™ features is the electric-assist winch which comes as standard in all Allied Mobility vehicles and serves to guide the wheelchair user in and out of the vehicle, making entry and exit much easier.  

“It’s a new feature, we like it though,” Paul comments. 

Paul also gives special mention to Freedom’s™ built-in Sat Nav and compliments the vehicle’s Spacelite™ ramp, “it’s so much easier to use!” 

Why Choose Allied Mobility? 

Having previously struggled to find a vehicle; Paul reflects on their journey to finding the perfect WAV since discovering Allied Mobility: 

“I would recommend Allied Mobility to anybody because the customer service has been superb and the ranges available are very good.” 

He continues, “They were very easy to deal with, very straightforward, good communication, so we would recommend them to anybody considering a new Motability Scheme vehicle and particularly a wheelchair accessible vehicle.”
