MAGIC, the Ford Motor Com-pany's Swindon-based information service for people with disabilities, is celebrating the fact that it has now assisted more than 200,000 people.
Roger Putnam, the new chairman of Ford UK, who recently visited the MAGIC centre in Hill Mead, to learn first-hand about what goes on there, said: "MAGIC does a first-class job providing an invaluable service to people who need help in this specialised area.
"The news that more than 200,000 people have called the centre is conclusive proof that MAGIC has made a mark with people with disabilities and mature drivers all over the country.
"For 25 years, Ford has been committed to helping people with disabilities to get mobile.
"We were a founding member of the Motability Scheme nearly 25 years ago and since then have supplied over 400,000 Motability Scheme vehicles, more than any other motor manufacturer."
MAGIC is a unique service that provides free motoring and mobility information to people in the UK, regardless of what make of car they drive or want to drive.
Anyone can call MAGIC's free-phone service on 0800 240 241, but it is particularly useful for people with disabilities or mobility issues, their families, friends and carers.
