Dear Apparelyzed memebers,

I am terribly sorry to bother you but I hoped you might be able to help me.

JRA have been commissioned to carry out some research on behalf of the designer of a new "high-end", concept, Carbon fibre, non-motorized wheelchair.
The designer wants to contact a few people to see what they think of it before he goes much further in it's development. The research will be in the form of a telephone interview lasting no longer than 45 minutes or a in-depth one to one interview lasting up to 2 hours (at a time and location suitable to the individual).

We are looking for wheelchair users who are between 18-50 to have a look at some printed material and outlines and give us some feedback as to what they think and feel about the new concept wheelchair. Ideally we are looking to speak to people who consider themselves to lead active, independent lives, are interested in the design and technology of products they use and be open to new concepts.

If anyone is interested if they could give me a call on free phone 08000 195 111 I will organise their participation in the project.



Thank you once again

Kindest regards

Tara

No one called Tara Stevens appears on JRA's team photo page. LINK
It's probably not SPAM. Just someone unsure how to approach people.

:mfrlol:

Is there any consultancy fee available. Husband knows a lot about wheelchair design would probably do it if you paid him. He's sick of giving his ideas away for free and then having some random AB person with no knowledge about disbility decide to change the design to make it better and cock it up.
