Big changes are happening in the world of mobility aids and assistive technology. Earlier this summer, NRS Healthcare, a long-standing supplier of daily living products and rehabilitation equipment, went into liquidation.

For many people who relied on NRS for essential care equipment, this news may be worrying. But it’s also a moment to pause and think about what it means for customers, families, carers, and the wider care sector.

What’s Happened

In early August, the courts confirmed that Nottingham Rehab Limited (trading as NRS Healthcare) and NRS Healthcare Limited are being wound up. Special Managers from PwC have been brought in to oversee the process, with the Official Receiver appointed as Liquidator.

The good news? At the end of August, the Product Sales Division of NRS Healthcare, the part of the business that sells mobility aids, daily living products, and complex assistive technologies, was sold to the Mobilitas Group. This means customers should still be able to access the products they need, and jobs in that division have been saved.

What This Means for Customers

If you’ve bought from NRS Healthcare before, or rely on their products, you might be wondering: “Will my order still arrive? What about after-sales support?”

The sale of the Product Sales Division should mean continuity; your products and services will now be under Mobilitas. If you do have concerns about an order or delivery, you can reach out to the team handling the transition at uk_nrs_customers@pwc.com.

For Employees and Suppliers

Sadly, not everyone connected to NRS Healthcare will have the same smooth transition.

• Employees who haven’t transferred over may now be looking at redundancy. There is support available through the Insolvency Service for wages, redundancy pay, and holiday pay.

• Suppliers and creditors who are owed money will need to formally register their claims by completing a Proof of Debt form.

It’s a reminder of how far the ripple effects of a company closure spread, not just to customers, but to the people who worked hard behind the scenes and the businesses that supplied them.

Why This Matters for the Care Sector

When a big name like NRS Healthcare closes, it highlights the fragility of the care supply chain. So many families depend on these products for independence, dignity, and quality of life. Any disruption can feel huge, especially when equipment like mobility aids or assistive technologies are essential for daily living.

At the same time, the transition to Mobilitas shows that the sector is resilient. New providers can step in, services can continue, and the people who rely on these products will hopefully feel as little disruption as possible.
