    Hi @Wibbles , have you had a look at RGK? I have their octane FX and its amazing as I have the benefits of a rigid chair, being as lightweight as possible and easier to push, and a foldable chair, as it folds by the backrest and footrest. My chair, due to some modifications is around 9.5kg in weight but they can make them lighter. 
    They are expensive but they do offer finance, which may be something to look into. 
    I hope this helps.

    £4000+ a little excessive!

    I also know quickie do lightweight chairs that fold but they aren’t as light, for example there’s the neon 2 which is 11kg but a lot cheaper. If you are looking for a rigid chair, quickie is still a good option, one of them is the Life R which is 10.7kg.
