Hosted by Transport for London (TfL), the event offers an opportunity for those interested in accessible transport to meet with decision makers, engineers and businesses whilst learning about inclusive services and innovations.
The charity HAD, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018 and offers independent living services to Hertfordshire’s disabled and older communities, will be exhibiting alongside the Research Institute for Disabled Consumers (RIDC) in Zone 4, Future and Tech. HAD representatives, including Sean Lawrence, COO, and Nigel Dotchin, Chairman, will be providing information and advice on behalf of their overseeing national charity, Driving Mobility.
