Tell us about your background, how did you get into the industry?

“I got into the lift industry by chance. I had secured an apprenticeship with the British Oxygen Company, but they subsequently terminated all apprenticeships. I was therefore left looking for a new opportunity when I heard about an apprenticeship for a lift company (Stannah) setting up a new factory in the Andover area. I have been working in the lift industry for almost 50 years having started as an apprentice back in 1973. Most of this time has been spent in product design and codes and standards.”
