Under the guidance of Peter and Sheila Carruthers, the business was founded back in 1983 following a road accident in which Peter was injured leaving him a full time wheelchair user and income-free - no more plumbing. Always a keen sportsman Peter was keen to continue an active lifestyle and quickly became aware that there was not much out there for a C7 tetra. With Sheila's help he adapted his E&J style chair to make it easier to push and from there through several stages to a specialist racing chair. An everyday chair, rugby chair followed and now some decades later Bromakin supply almost everything for the aspiring wheelchair sports person or everyday user. Peter had a long and successful racing career and has completed over 50 marathons and many more halfs and 10kms, his high point was a Gold Medal and World Record at the 1988 Seoul Paralympics.
