Whatever part of our business you work in you will make a positive difference to our 485,000 disabled customers' lives.

But we are not a charity. Nor do we promote corporate social responsibility for the sake of it. We are a growing commercial operation with an annual turnover of approximately £1 billion - five times the size of Manchester United Football Club! Our profits are reinvested to grow and improve our business, which results in improved service, greater choice and affordability for our customers.

So what exactly do we do?

Today Motability Operations source and deliver motoring services to disabled people. We are the largest fleet operator in Europe, and the largest supplier of used cars. We sell over 145,000 used cars a year. Our car purchases account for 7% of annual total new car sales in the UK. Since our inception, over 2 million cars have been supplied.

Founded in 1978 as Motability Finance Limited, the business is owned by the five major clearing banks - Barclays, HBOS, Lloyds TSB, HSBC, and the Royal Bank of Scotland. Our activities are regulated and overseen by Motability, a national charity. Motability Operations is the 'invisible' car leasing operator behind the Motability Scheme.

So how does the Motability Scheme work?

Let us explain. Any disabled person in receipt of the higher rate Disability Living Allowance is entitled to participate in the Motability car scheme. In exchange for their allowance they can receive a car for three years - with insurance, tax and servicing all included. We offer a great range of cars to choose from and higher specification cars are available at additional cost. The Motability scheme gives our customers the freedom and mobility, which many may not have previously enjoyed. For many, this enables them to consider employment, new leisure activities and an enhanced quality of life.
