Gavin Neate spent 18 years as a Mobility Instructor with Guide Dogs for the Blind. His understanding of both disability and the increasing role technology was playing led him to develop his own solutions to the challenges his clients were facing in their day to day lives.  

WelcoMe was launched in 2018 to specially address the issues he had identified within staff awareness of disability and the awkwardness felt by many in face-to-face interactions with a disabled guest or visitor.  

The multi award winning WelcoMe service is now in operation across the UK and Republic of Ireland and is proving that technology can be used to improve human interactions and bring us all back together perhaps for the first time.
