By James Russell: HMA: Disability and the Maturing Population – A twin-track opportunity?

January 8, 2014

There are over 10 million disabled people in Britain, of whom five million are over the state pension age with the majority of impairments not visible, according to Government statistics. And figures from Age UK show the number of people aged 65+ is projected to rise by nearly 50% in the next 20 years.

Arnold Fewell, Catey award winner and former Hotel General Manager and now a permanent wheelchair user, who sees both sides of the discussion on accessibility in hotels.
Anna Glazebrook, from One Great George Street, winner of the 2013 Accessible Catey Award.
