Meet the Team
The team at Active Hands are a friendly bunch and are happy to answer your enquiries. We love to hear what you have achieved with our products – it makes our jobs worthwhile to know that we are making a difference to you. We would like to introduce our team to you:
Directors
Rob Smith
Rob SmithRob is an internationally competitive wheelchair racer in the T52 category. He is married to Jo and has a son, Jacob, and a daughter, Xanthe. He likes all his document titles to contain the word ‘stuff’ and would rather be designing than doing paper work. Rob designed Active Hands gripping aids after his spinal injury and uses them regularly himself, so he is the man to contact if you have questions relating to using our gripping aids or need help to know which one you should choose. Email Rob on: info@activehands.com
