Our story.
The Motionspot story began when friends and Co-Founders, Ed Warner and James Taylor, wanted to find better design solutions to help James after a diving accident. Since then, Motionspot has become a global leader in the design of inclusive and accessible spaces.

In 2005, Motionspot Co-Founder, James, broke his neck diving into the sea in Portugal. After eight months spent in Stoke Mandeville hospital, James returned home to his apartment in London to find a range of equipment had been installed to help make his life easier. There was just one problem; it looked and felt like a hospital rather than a home. James and his wife Katherine went from living in a space designed to suit their style and taste, to somewhere extremely clinical.
Motionspot is born.
Ed, a close friend, offered to help James (and Katherine) find something better. After weeks of searching, Ed found the same issues kept coming up time and again – limited choice, poor advice, condescending customer service, unclear pricing, and little consideration for aesthetics. When James and Ed first worked on their business concept, they knew they wanted to create a company that would help create stylish, enabling environments for all. The concept had never been demonstrated before, but with the help of James and Katherine, Ed set up Motionspot to make sure no-one else must endure the same frustrations.
Transforming lives.
Today, Motionspot works with clients and their design teams across the world to help create inclusive built environments across the workplace, hospitality, later living, retail, and care sectors around the world. We provide inclusive design consultancy and product advice services that result in spaces that are inclusive, safe, and welcoming for everyone. These spaces positively impact the lives of everyone who uses them, including people with a broad range of protected characteristics such as disability, neurodiversity, age, race, ethnicity, religion, belief and more.
