Glasgow 2026 finds new partner in Allied Mobility

The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games have found a new partner in Allied Mobility, a UK-based wheelchair manufacturer, which has come on board as the Official Accessibility Partner of the Games and an Official Partner of Team Scotland.

Allied Mobility will supply a fleet of wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs) for competing para-athletes, as well as provide support with funding for dedicated signage in venues to highlight accessible routes to spectator areas.

Additionally, Allied Mobility’s sister company, Mobility Solutions, will provide a range of wheelchairs and electric scooters for public use at the Games.

The 2026 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to take place between July 23 and August 2, 2026, in Glasgow, Scotland.

Jade Gallagher, Chief Operating Officer, Glasgow 2026, commented:

“Accessibility is central to our venue planning for Glasgow 2026. We’re hosting the largest Para sport programme in the history of the Commonwealth Games and we need our operations to match that ambition. Para athletes and visitors across Glasgow will benefit from Allied Mobility’s partnership and expertise in accessibility, helping in part to make the Games inclusive.”

Gerry Facenna, Chairman, Allied Vehicles Group, said:

“As a wheelchair accessible vehicle manufacturer that has been helping to support the independence of people with disabilities for over three decades, we’re extending our commitment to providing accessible travel at this year’s Games, ensuring Para athletes and Commonwealth Teams can travel comfortably, confidently and with ease to competition venues. It’s also important that businesses like ours support Glasgow to host fantastic events like this in our great city.”

Para-athlete Sean Frame added:

“Allied Mobility being involved in the Games and supporting disabled athletes is absolutely amazing and it will be invaluable to the athletes selected to compete. It will make it so much easier and less stressful not having to worry about transferring out of our day chairs as we have to do in normal cars. It will also make it a more relaxing and enjoyable experience when travelling to different venues during the games. These are my second games representing Scotland and I am very excited and very proud to get to compete in my home city of Glasgow.”
