Ascot-based entrepreneurs are set to appear on the latest series of BBC’s ultimate TV investment show Dragon's Den.

Matt Walker, and business partner Cristian Brownlee, entered BBC One’s Dragons Den to pitch for a £40,000 investment in their company which assembles and distributes their state-of-the-art game-changing wheelchair.

Their products, which they have patented as Omeo, has been created to offer improved mobility for those who are permanently paralysed.

The pair who are both permanently paralysed are ready to wow the likes of Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden with the equipment that they have been testing for many years.

Matt Walker, Director Adapt Ability, said: “Cristian and I have both been using an Omeo for years and believe passionately in its game-changing functionality and aesthetics. It has changed our lives radically for the better and we want to be able to share that incredible benefit with as many people as possible.”

The Omeo wheelchair is able to travel over uneven terrain, scale inclines and navigate troughs and bumps in the ground and has the possibility to completely change the lives of wheelchair users.

Cristian was the first person in the UK to use an Omeo and, after they had both experienced the difference this wheelchair made to their lives, the two came together to build a business that would make the chair available across the UK and Europe.

Cristian Brownlee, director Adapt Ability, said: “It is important for us to be able to offer not only the latest in mobility technology but provide an essential quick and efficient service.

"Matt and I experience daily how important a piece of mobility equipment can be for every simple function of our day and we know that with the Omeo we have a mobility device that can definitely improve quality of life.”
