Freedom One Life is a Glasgow-based company specialising in advanced power wheelchairs. The company was founded in 2013 by Alex Papanikolaou, who started the company to enable people living with physical disability to expect and achieve the same standard of living and mobility that a non-disabled person takes for granted.
