LIMB-art was founded in 2018 by former Paralympic swimmer and
medallist, and his wife Rachael.
Mark lost his lower leg at a young age after an accident whilst
riding his bike home from school. His determination to succeed
saw him go on to become an elite athlete, winning medals in the
pool at the 1988 Seoul Paralympics and 1989 Miami World
Championships.
Mark’s overwhelming desire to support prosthetic users raise
their self-confidence saw LIMB-art established in Bylchau, Conwy.
The prosthetic leg covers are designed and developed using the
latest digital processes and are made from a robust high-grade
nylon, which can be recycled.
The company has received support from the Welsh Government
including help to identify potential distributors and sales in
Europe and the United States of America.
Mark was also a panellist at the Welsh Government’s Explore
Export Wales, North Wales conference earlier this year.
North Wales Minister said: “This is truly an
inspiring story which has led to Mark, Rachael and the team at
LIMB-art being able to support prosthetic users and help build
their confidence.
“The work which takes place at the company in Bylchau is very
impressive and their dedication and desire to produce the best
products for their customers is fantastic to see.
“It’s also great to see the business thriving in a rural part of
Wales and boosting the economy.
“I am pleased the Welsh Government has been able to support
LIMB-art, especially in looking to access markets abroad, and I
wish them the very best in their future aspirations to see the
business continue to grow."
said: “At LIMB-art, we're not
just creating prosthetics; we're crafting a brighter future for
amputees.
“Every leg cover we design is a testament to resilience, an ode
to possibilities, and a bold statement of self-expression. It's
not about what you lose; it's about what you find within you that
truly defines who you are."
