Innovative accessibility solution provider wins award at prestigious accessibility awards for their revolutionary work in step-free access

Sesame Access, a disabled access manufacturer based in West Byfleet, Surrey, is thrilled to announce its participation in the highly anticipated Blue Badge Awards on 26th October.

The company received a prestigious 'Special Award for Outstanding Achievement in Accessibility' on behalf of Charlie Lyons, the founder of Sesame Access. The Blue Badge Awards introduced this award to acknowledge Charlie's revolutionary work in revolutionising step-free access in a highly creative and versatile way.

Sesame Access also attended to support their client ‘The Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel’, who went on to win the ‘Best Luxury Hotel’ award, primarily in recognition of the stair lift that Sesame Access installed at the hotel’s entrance. Often likened to something out of 'Hogwarts,' this lift has captured significant attention on social media due to the magical experience it offers.

The partnership between Sesame Access and the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel shows how innovation and creativity can successfully tackle accessibility issues, especially in historically significant venues.

The Blue Badge Awards is renowned for celebrating excellence and innovation in various industries. The event celebrates companies and individuals who have made significant contributions to the accessibility and disability inclusion fields and was attended by industry leaders, dignitaries, and peers, making it a night to remember.

Sesame Access’ innovative accessibility solutions have transformed the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing them with greater independence and access to public spaces and buildings. The company's commitment to making the world a more inclusive place aligns with the core values of the Blue Badge Awards.

Alison Lyons OBE, who serves as the Director of Commercial Development and is the daughter of Charlie Lyons, said: “Receiving these awards is a testament to the dedication, creativity, and hard work of every member of the Sesame Access team.

“We are committed to maintaining the same level of excellence in the future and will continue to make the world more inclusive for everyone.

My father would be immensely proud of this recognition, witnessing how his invention has positively transformed the world of accessibility and enhanced the lives of countless wheelchair users."

The company’s success at The Blue Badge Style Awards not only demonstrates their commitment to fostering an inclusive society but also reinforces its position as a leader in the disabled access industry.
