Next week Apollo Creative will be exhibiting at one of the biggest events for the independent living industry, Naidex (http://naidex.co.uk/).
Casey, Jack and Paul will be on stand J15 to talk to our current customers and meet some new faces who are interested in distributing sensory equipment. We will also be showcasing a brand-new product that is set to be launched in September, Emego (see the website here www.emego.co.uk). This assistive switch is set to give people with severe disabilities to control AAC and EC equipment. Light, accurate and completely wireless the Emego assistive switch is a revolutionary new way for switch accessing methods.
We will be bringing a range of sensory equipment as well as a brochure for you to take away. We’ve got bubble tubes, fibre optic lights and more for you to come and have a go with. We’ll be there throughout the whole event so any questions you have about sensory equipment or assistive technology then please do pop by to J15.

How to Get To the NEC, Birmingham:
Car
If you’re travelling by car the NEC is situated just off the motorway around 8 miles east of the centre of Birmingham. Don’t forget that you will need to pay for parking at the NEC and a free shuttle bus will take you to the entrance. For disabled visitors, there will be plenty of car parking spots nearer the entrance to the halls. Everything is clearly signposted and there are always plenty of attendants you can ask for directions should you need to.
