Who is Ruth Amos?
Ruth Amos is a British entrepreneur and inventor of the StairSteady.
The StairSteady is an aid to enable people with limited mobility to use their stairs confidently and safely.

Amos won the 2006 Young Engineer of the Year award in Britain with her idea. She was also picked as the youngest ever of Britain's "Heroines For Hard Times" 35 women under 35 by Management Today, Derbyshire Young Achiever 2006, she was the first ever Women of the Future "YoungStar" award winner, and she was listed on the Yorkshire 42 under 42 in May 2010.
