A local Bristol business that makes stylish wallets for disabled parking permits will soon stock its products in Boots stores across the UK.
Blue Badge Company has confirmed that Boots UK, the UK’s leading health and beauty retailer, will use its blue badge holder designs in around 2,000 Boots stores across the UK and on boots.com.
The company was the first in the world to offer uniquely styled blue badge holders and remains the only company in the UK.
Ellen Green, director of Blue Badge Company, comments: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to the display wallets and we’re absolutely delighted that Boots UK will now be stocking our product, made here in Bristol, in stores across the UK.
“We want to provide disabled people the opportunity to style their life, their way by offering consumers living aids that match their personality.
“By having our blue badge holders available so widely will allow us to reach more people, giving them access to our products and ultimately increase the choice available when it comes to buying and using assistive products.”
The handmade wallets are made by a team in Bristol– some of whom are registered disabled themselves.
