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 is an internationally competitive wheelchair racer in the T52 category. He is married to Jo and has a son, Jacob. 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

 

Mel Burley

Mel is Rob’s sister and Mum to two noisy, football mad boys. She runs the company with Rob and is in charge of many of the boring back room bits. When she is not busy at work she likes to go to the gym, listen to live music and build giant marble runs with her boys.  If you need advice on any of the products we sell, want to set us up as a vendor, or need a hug contact Mel on sales@activehands.com
