Thistle Help, a limited company, has been established to offer a much needed quality, reliable and competitive service in the way of supplying, hiring and repairing assisted living products.
We at Thistle Help strongly believe we are better than our competitors in several ways.
Our Managing Director, George Ruddick BSc (Hons.), has Cerebral palsy, uses a power wheelchair and has a speech impediment. He has personally come across many of the difficulties you may have faced including supplier apathy, lengthy delivery times and extortionate prices.
George has also successfully ran his own print and design company in Irvine, Ayrshire for over 16 years.
Our Company Secretary, and Assisted Living Advisor, Laura Clark BA (Hons.), has several years experience of managing a subsidiary company of a major business. She also has many years experience of working with disabled people on a voluntary basis.
So why not give Thistle Help a try?
You won’t just get any employee who would rather be somewhere else to assist you – you will get the owners, and they will gladly tell you, "Thistle Help".


Recently, Laura gave an interview to 3TFM, Community Radio for Health in Ayrshire. In the interview Laura talks of the reasons for founding Thistle Help and outlines the services the Company can provide.
