About Mobiloo

Mobiloo is not just a business; it is a mission, a movement, and a lifeline for those who would otherwise be excluded from cultural and creative experiences.

We’ve built something truly transformational. With recent legal developments requiring event organisers to prioritise accessibility, demand for our services is growing rapidly. Under the Equalities Act 2011 most of our customers are now legally required to provide accessible toilet and changing facilities at all its festivals. This marks a major shift in the industry—accessibility is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’; it’s a must-have.

Mobiloo was born out of lived experience and a refusal to accept exclusion as inevitable. As a Paralympic gold medalist and world record holder, I know what it takes to push beyond barriers and fight for equal opportunities. That winning mindset has driven Mobiloo through challenges, setbacks, and even a global pandemic. When COVID shut down the events industry, we faced an existential crisis. Many in our sector didn’t survive. But we adapted, restructured, and came back stronger—because what we do matters.

At the heart of Mobiloo is our team: people who work not for a paycheck, but for a purpose. Their dedication makes Mobiloo more than just a service—it’s a community, a passion, a commitment to real change.

“Working for Mobiloo has been utterly life-affirming. I’ve never had such a worthwhile and meaningful job, and the joy on the faces of those who use the facility is incredibly rewarding.”

– Mobiloo Driver

This is what we stand for:

Changing lives. Opening doors. Making the world more inclusive, one event at a time.

The next phase of our journey is about growth, impact, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

The world is starting to recognise what we’ve known from the beginning:

True accessibility isn’t optional—it’s a right.
