Stannah, a leading U.K. lift specialist established in 1867, announced that 32 of its colleagues participated in a thrilling and challenging charity abseil (rappel) at the iconic Northampton Lift Tower October 26. Originally designed as a testing facility for lifts and now a center 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, GBP8,124 (US$10,452) was raised by the event. The Stannah Group covered the costs of the abseil and matched the donations, bringing the total to GBP16,248 (US$20,905). 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.
