Company Background

Technical Aids Ltd was established in 2011 to produce and market a range of simple to use multi-function mobility aids.

SUMO is the brain child of engineer, Selwyn Jebson. When Selwyn found himself on crutches and using a pick-up stick to help him reach for the things he couldn't bend for, Selwyn thought that it would be useful to have one piece of equipment that could combine the functions of both a pick-up stick and a walking stick.

The original product concept was conceived in 2007 but was followed by several years of extensive product development and testing of prototype models.

During this time, a partnership was established with Fielding based Idea Design, an internationally recognised and award winning designer. Idea Design produced the final designs and arranged production of the prototype parts using well established manufacturing resources in China.

The extensive investment in research and development has resulted in a quality engineered multi-function walking stick with a patented release button. The SUMO name was registered in May 2013 and trade-marked a month later. Laurie from Learn Fast played a crucial role in the marketing of this project.

SUMO is the first product to be released internationally by Technical Aids Ltd., with plans for innovations in crutches and walkers already in the pipeline.
