At GKN Wheels & Structures we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Our site generally conforms to level Double-A (AA) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines WCAG 2.1 These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

In addition to optimising the website from an accessibility perspective, we have also worked hard to ensure that our website is fully responsive and works well across all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile), and across most common browsers and operating systems.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colours at the bottom of the General tab and make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.

In Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools, select Options, select Colours in the middle of the Content tab and make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.
