Celebrating Success: Billy Hutchinson wins big at Ableworld’s Business Conference

At Ableworld, we value the hard work and commitment of our franchise partners, and this year’s annual Business Conference and Awards Evening gave us the perfect opportunity to celebrate their outstanding achievements. Franchisees from across the UK came together for a night of recognition, highlighting the exceptional contributions that help drive the company forward.

One of the evening’s most notable successes was Billy Hutchinson, co-owner of Ableworld Broxburn with his business partner Robert McKenzie. Billy proudly took home the award for Biggest Improvement in Stairlifts, thanks to an impressive 82% increase in stairlift sales compared to the previous year. This significant accomplishment reflects Billy’s dedication to providing the best possible mobility solutions to his local community.

Billy’s success is a testament to his commitment to excellent customer service, offering expert guidance and ensuring his customers receive the right stairlift solutions for their needs. His partnership with Robert has been key in driving the store’s growth, as their combined leadership continues to build on the success of the Broxburn store.

The conference also celebrated the achievements of other franchise partners across the Ableworld family. James Studdart, who expanded his South Wales operation this year, was awarded Franchise Store of the Year for his exceptional new store performance. Meanwhile, Jeff Newman was recognised with the prestigious title of Prestige Franchise of the Year, reflecting his impressive multi-site growth and success.

These awards highlight the diversity and strength of the Ableworld franchise network, where business partners are empowered to grow and thrive while improving the quality of life for their customers. Each success story, like Billy’s, shows how passionate franchisees can truly make a difference in their communities.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Billy Hutchinson’s achievement at this year’s conference, and we look forward to the continued growth and success of the Ableworld Broxburn store. Congratulations again to Billy, Robert, and the whole team for their remarkable progress!
