TV doctor Hilary Jones was given a tour of Acorn Stairlifts’ Steeton headquarters.

The doctor, health editor on ITV breakfast show Daybreak, visited the factory as part of a partnership supporting the Acorn brand.

And his diagnosis? “It has completely opened my eyes – not only to the product manufacturing but also the customer service team Acorn has on hand to support people and deal with new enquiries,” he said.

The stairlift manufacturer has worked closely with Dr Jones to create its latest health and mobility guide.

Acorn sales director Jules Allen said: “We are so delighted Dr Hilary, with all his patient and lifestyle experience, is taking an interest and helping us to advise and support people with mobility issues at whatever time of life.

“His expertise in healthcare will allow us to offer additional resources to our customers through our health and mobility guides and future website content.”
