Motionspot

Harnessing technology to enable businesses to make their buildings more inclusive for everyone

Since its inception in 2012, Motionspot has grown into an industry leader in inclusive design, creating attractive inclusive environments for businesses across the workplace, later living, hospitality, retail, and care sectors. It supports businesses including Barclays, bp, Lloyds Banking Group and The National Trust and their architects to design and build spaces that are accessible and inclusive for users with a range of physical, cognitive, and sensory needs, including design considerations for faith, culture, ethnic background, gender, and neurodiversity.

For some time Motionspot has been wanting to scale the inclusive design evaluations it carries out in workplaces. The Innovate award will help Motionspot create technology which will enable the company to scale the inclusive design evaluations it carries out in workplaces, which in turn will raise the bar above the minimum standards of building regulations, empower the people who operate buildings to understand the inclusive design challenges and potential solutions to overcome barriers, and enable more disabled people (both with seen and unseen disabilities) to access and flourish in the workplace.

Motionspot Founder and CEO Ed Warner said: “Whilst this technology is initially aimed at the workplace, there is significant potential to also evaluate other spaces in hospitality, retail, retirement living and health care to help make spaces more accessible and inclusive in the UK, and eventually, across the world.”
