Ed Warner founded the inclusive design business Motionspot in 2012 after his friend and Co-Founder James Taylor was paralysed in a diving accident and left underwhelmed by the clinical design and poor quality of adaptations in his home. Ed has since built Motionspot into a RIBA award winning industry leader in inclusive design. Motionspot helps to transform spaces and lives through beautifully designed, inclusive environments that deliver independence for anyone with a disability as well as those with sensory and cognitive needs, including neurodiversity. Motionspot also designs for people of different faiths and genders to create spaces that are truly equitable.
Motionspot provides inclusive design consultancy and innovative accessible products to the hospitality industry, workplaces, retirement and later living developments, care and housing providers, and leisure and retail venues across the world.
Ed was also the Government Sector Champion for the design of Accessible Spaces and Products for a three-year term between 2019 and 2022.
Ed is an experienced public speaker on inclusive design topics relating to the built environment including how inclusive design supports the ‘S’ in ESG and is a vital component of EDI strategies.
