About Younique Healthcare’s co-founders

Co-founded by Andy Haines and Lee Cadman, Younique Healthcare is led by two directors with complementary strengths and a shared emphasis on tailored solutions where comfort, posture, and real-world usability matter.

Andy, Director for Commercial and Product Development, is a healthcare mobility specialist recognised for pairing commercial leadership with practical clinical problem-solving. His work spans independent assessments, complex seating set-ups, and collaboration with charities and partner organisations to match people with the right equipment and support, as well as a wider business development and product focus within the UK medical devices and mobility space.

Lee, Director for Retail and Services, brings a customer-first, operations-led approach, with a hands-on focus on personalised assessments, high-quality equipment, and consistent follow-through, helping to turn complex needs into workable, dignified day-to-day outcomes. Beyond Younique Healthcare, Lee is involved in community-facing mental health and disability work through The Black Country Blokes C.I.C., which won the King’s Award in 2025.

What is Younique Healthcare? 

Established in 2018, Younique Healthcare supports disabled people, families, clinicians, and care settings with assessment-led supply, installation, and aftercare, aiming for safe, practical outcomes that improve independence, comfort, and day-to-day function.

Its services cover wheelchairs and specialist seating, moving and handling equipment, access solutions (including modular ramps and threshold options), and LOLER inspections and certification.

Younique Healthcare operates an assessment-led pathway, which involves understanding needs and risks, such as the environment, user ability, carers, transfers, skin integrity, and safety; confirming measurements and constraints; proposing suitable options; supplying, installing, and commissioning solutions; and then handover, user guidance, and aftercare/support.

Andy describes the company’s ethos as “inclusive by design”, balancing independence, safety, and value, while avoiding “one-size-fits-all” provision. Lee adds that this is underpinned by clear assessment and record-keeping, installation standards, and aftercare.

Younique Healthcare, which is Disability Confident-registered, works with individuals, families, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, case managers, care homes, supported living providers, care agencies, and local authority/public sector-style referrals, where applicable.

“We are a disabled family operating within the market that we serve and that serves us,” Andy added.

Some of Younique Healthcare’s supply partners include BHTA members like Permobil, Sunrise Medical, Etac, and BES Healthcare.

Future plans

Looking ahead, Younique Healthcare says it is navigating economic pressures and ongoing supply chain constraints, while exploring opportunities to develop its own product ranges. The team is also planning either a new shop or a consolidation into a larger Midlands premises.

The decision to join the BHTA

The directors say BHTA membership builds on their existing awareness of the association and supports a wider programme of training and development. “We felt the time was right to nail our colours to the mast”, Lee commented.
