About Rob Trent, Managing Director
Hi, I’m Rob.
I have lived experience of disability and overcoming accessibility challenges. Although I am now retired, I love to keep busy.
My family: We love travelling, and taking holidays. We are lucky enough to have a grandson who enjoys travelling with us.
Football: I’m a supporter of AFC Bournemouth and travel up and down (well mostly up) the country to watch them. As a disabled person and a football supporter, I have had several consultancy roles dedicated to improving accessibility at football stadiums, including working for the Football Stadium Advisory Design Council and the Football Foundation.
I have also had Board Level experience as a Trustee of Disability Rights UK, Flat Spaces Foundation and a Governor of Treloars Special School and College, Alton, Hampshire.
I am currently Chair of Toucan Diversity Training.
I am also a mouth painter with the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. Examples of my work can be found here

AccessAdvisr
“Yes, itʼs accessible, thereʼs only two steps to navigate”. “We have a ramp allowing access to our building”.
As a wheelchair user I have often come across comments like those above. However, on many occasions the reality differs greatly from the description. “Ramps” are more like ski slopes, and “access to our building” is usually past the cleaners equipment, through the kitchen and into the service lift. Things are very often not quite what they seem.
Out of that frustration AccessAdvisr was born. I wanted something for users who face the same challenges as me. AccessAdvisr was created to provide a user-led real-world view of how easy-to-access different places are for disabled people. The aim is to provide a simple mechanism to allow people with mobility challenges to rate and find first-hand accessibility information. Photographs can be uploaded to the site which further helps to show off accessibility.
Social Media
Since the launch of the website, AccessAdvisr has grown and can also be found on youTube, FaceBook, instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn.
