Morton & Perry | About Us | Disability Equipment NZ

Past

Where we come from

Back more than two decades ago, Morton & Perry took its initial steps as a privately founded company by two visionaries, David Morton and David Perry. Their joint aspiration was to revolutionize the industry, bringing a fresh perspective and a commitment to making a meaningful difference.

Over the years, Mr. Perry left and David Morton continued to grow the vision of a better life for people with mobility disabilities.

The founder poured his hearts and soul into establishing a company that would not only stand the test of time but would also set new benchmarks in the industry.

Morton & Perry’s journey began with an unwavering dedication to redefining standards and introducing innovative approaches that would shape the industry’s future. The company was established on the firm belief that every individual, regardless of their abilities, deserved the best support and equipment available. Over the years, the company’s persistent efforts, coupled with the visionary leadership of the director, have solidified Morton & Perry’s position as a beacon of quality, compassion, and progress in the industry. The company’s long trajectory is a testament to the determination and hard work of its director and the entire team who have continuously strived to make a positive impact on the lives of those they serve.

The resilience and perseverance exhibited by the company have been instrumental in overcoming adversities, allowing us to emerge stronger and more determined. We’ve weathered storms, adapting and evolving to meet the needs of our community and customers.

A significant milestone in our present journey was the establishment of our sister company, Mobility Hub, which serves as a showcase for all our top-tier mobility equipment.

Our dedicated team is passionately focused on our specialties, striving to provide top-notch services and products. Our core mission remains unaltered: to make a tangible difference.

Based in Christchurch, and regularly in each of the Southern regions Ian is our direct link to assisting South Islanders. Clients & therapists across the South Island are welcome to make contact and enquire about Morton & Perry’s healthcare equipment solutions – seeking the possible.

“With a number of years involvement in utilising healthcare equipment, my aim is to provide high standards of service and to collaborate with others. I’ve worked with Aged Care providers, DHB Teams and for many people in the wider community. The excitement going forward is to continue learning more about people, using the ever-improving equipment that exists and assisting with people’s journeys.

Morton & Perry is a versatile, enthusiastic and progressive co, which I’ve really enjoyed being part of and bringing that special capability to South Islanders.

With a busy wife, fast growing teenagers and a desire to be “out on the water” or out seeing the world – there’s often time pressure, but no better time than now, to be out trying to do good.

“Mum was right… she told me to go for it when I said at age ten that I wanted to be a Physiotherapist.

Otago trained and really privileged to have worked in many counties and many areas of Physiotherapy, it’s been a such a good choice for me. I feel like I’ve had many mini careers under the Physio banner. Community PT, Rotational, MSK, Admission avoidance, Manual handling coordinator, Wheelchair and Posture therapist… the list really does go on. While in the UK I completed the post graduate qualification of “Complex postural assessment”. I officially became a wheelchair and posture geek at that point.

Of late I’ve been applying my skills and experience as a clinical rep for Morton & Perry. I love it. It’s the getting stuck in and helping that really has me love my current role. I get a buzz out of having solutions for people and therapists. I do my best to get things spot on for the clients, therapists and funders we work with.”

David Morton

“It seems like only yesterday Morton & Perry began, now it’s 20 years plus. Yes, I have turned grey, but it has been a lot of fun and many challenges along the way, but I wouldn’t swap it for the world. What gives me the buzz every day is seeing how we can significantly improve, and change people’s lives with improved technology solutions. And how our team are also so passionate in assisting our clients day to day. Then of course they are far more skilled than me. Then with downtime it is coping with teenagers and chasing fish in the Hauraki Gulf.”

‘I have been with Morton and Perry for nearly 8 years, I started off doing Warehouse duties and building chairs, I am now the Technical and Service Manager and my day to day function is the setup and custom modification of Powerchairs, I love finding solutions to help the client get better mobility.

In the time I have been with Morton and Perry I have visited the TA Service Factory in Denmark twice so there is not much I do not know about the TA Powerchair range, I love the face-to-face contact with clients and Therapists and finding mobility solutions.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my 2 young boys who keep me busy, every Christmas Holiday we look forward to camping at the same spot in the far North we call it “Our Happy Place” Sunshine and no cell phone coverage what else can you ask for!!’
