Overview

The award-winning cooling backrest cushion start-up, wheelAIR, are seeking outgoing manual wheelchair users to join their exclusive wheelAIR PRO community. The benefits of becoming a wheelAIR PRO include the chance to buy a significantly reduced limited edition wheelAIR, as well as access to the wheelAIR PRO online community. wheelAIR PROs will be the first to try out the newest wheelAIR products through the wheelAIR Beta Testing Group and have access to wheelAIR PRO media content.

The Glasgow start-up are looking for driven individuals who will embody the wheelAIR brand - people who push boundaries, inspire peers and demonstrate ambition. They will be a highly valued source of feedback and a key part of the company's future development.

The wheelAIR has been carefully designed in Glasgow with the input of Paralympic athletes to solve the problem of overheating in a manual wheelchair.

Using inbuilt fan technology, it cools the back and reduces core temperature by taking away excess heat and moisture. This allows for instant comfort and better temperature control.

Not only this, the cushion also offers extra support through a unique blend of carefully selected foams. wheelAIR keeps users cool, comfortable and in control.

Company director, Corien Staels, commented:

"We are excited to get to the stage with the company where we are reaching out to people to join our wheelAIR community. We really want to keep building our brand with a real sense of consumer focus, so having the right people in place to give us feedback and promote the wheelAIR is essential."

She continues:

"wheelAIR PRO is a fantastic opportunity not just for us, but also for people who want to get involved in a thriving community - we want to help bring like-minded, motivated people together."
