Stannah, a leading U.K. lift specialist established in 1867, announced that 32 of its colleagues participated in a thrilling and challenging charity abseil at the iconic Northampton Lift Tower on 26 October. Originally designed as a testing facility for lifts and now a centre for R&D, the 127-m (418-ft) Northampton Lift Tower is the U.K.’s tallest permanent abseil tower. “The team faced the daunting drop with courage, overcoming personal fears and challenges as they descended this iconic structure,” Stannah said. Through these efforts, £8,124 was raised by the event. The Stannah Group covered the costs of the abseil and matched the donations, bringing the total to £16,248. These funds were donated to the UK Lift Industry Charity, which provides financial aid to the families of lift industry workers who have been injured or lost their lives at work. Stannah Lift Services specialises in supplying and servicing all types of lifts, escalators and moving walkways, regardless of manufacturer. With 11 branches across the U.K., the company provides a full range of lift maintenance services, including modernisation, refurbishment, removal and replacement. With a history spanning more than 150 years, Stannah is committed to supporting local communities, both through its business operations and charitable activities.
