Quest 88 has been directly involved in the manufacture of cycles
and tricycles for over 18 year now. Four years ago we recognised
our need for a larger tricycle for children who had outgrown the
Panther tricycle.
At about the same time we got a call from Draisin, an
established company in the Black Forest, Germany. Consequently the
guys at Draisin brought over to the UK, a huge array of cycling
equipment for people of all sizes and abilities. The decision at
that time was, do we simply look to distribute Draisin's larger
tricycles or do we embrace the whole range and go for it?
We already had many committments with our therapy and mobility
equipment design and development, however we decided to dip our
toes in the water and bought two complete demonstration fleets of
Draisin cycles, one for the North and Scotland and one for the rest
of the UK. Thereafter we became the UK importer and distributor for
Draisin therapy cycles and it has been fantastic to work with
another company with a similar ethos.
It then went bananas! We could never have imagined how this
initial decision would change our company and expand our horizons
and bring cycling opportunities to so many people.
To begin with, we used the existing factory and office
infrastructure to accomodate the expanding cycle business. We then
became very busy and very stretched and soon found that our service
standards were declining a little.
The last 6 months has seen us work tirelessly to install the
kind of infrastructure that will take us forward and deliver the
kind of service people need.
In 2010, we have launched this new website and at the same time
invested in a new team of individuals to improve our service and
our response times. New Quest 88 cycling products as well as new
Draisin products will be coming on-stream soon.
We will be publishing direct contact details for the new team in
the next couple of weeks.
For any of you who know Quest 88 and especially those therapists
and parents that have supported us in the past; our childrens
tricycles including Kitten, Colt, Panther, Laser, Neon and Eclipse
will still be demonstrated by our Quest 88 local product
specialists.
