Originally from the Florida Panhandle, Sue Sharp is a 27-year veteran of Delta Airlines. She was repeatedly offered an early retirement plan, and eventually decided to take it and pursue other career interests. After working as an Executive Director for several non-profit agencies, she experienced a debilitating accident that required her to acquire mobility-related medical equipment. When she had difficulty finding what she needed, a light went on in her head.
A bit of an entrepreneur, she and her husband, Jerry, decided it was a market space that they were uniquely suited to fill. Consequently, they purchased Mobility Express, a company dedicated to providing and installing mobility equipment from grab bars to ceiling lifts to accessible vehicles. One of their differentiators is that Jerry spent 27 years in the construction industry. This experience enables their company to thoughtfully design mobility systems uniquely suited to each client’s specific needs. Another unique aspect of Sue’s business is that they have a 5,000 square foot showroom where clients and their families can see, touch and test the products they sell. To find out more, stop by their showroom at 1580 Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell east of GA400 (next to the Home Depot), check out their website at www.wheelchairsatlanta.com, or call them at (770) 998-9984.
