For Facelift, 2010 is a special year

27 April 2010

It celebrates 25 years of industry leadership and innovation.

It all started back in 1985, when Managing Director, Gordon Leicester, opened shop and the company bought its very first cherry picker from the Hong Kong Fire Department. Since then, Facelift’s success has exploded.

Said Gordon: “We’ve come such a long way, from when I first set up the business. It was paramount that Facelift maintained a personable approach, while still being appreciated for its expertise – this is something the company maintains to this day.”

The company grew as its reputation did and now spans across England with five Facelift call centre depots located in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Southampton and the head office at Hickstead, Sussex. With a wealth of experience in power solutions, Facelift has worked on a spectrum of projects with clients, ranging from highway engineers, to film units, architects and many more. The company’s clients know that Facelift’s personal approach and expertise in powered access solutions, means a high quality service, every time.

During its rich history, Facelift has had some amazing achievements, including:

·       Becoming one of the first access hire companies to join the      International Powered  Access Federation in 1988. Becoming a IPAF and PASMA training centre in 1996 and going onto train 30,000 candidates.

·       With new additions of access platforms, from Simon and Condor, in 1989, Facelift, for the first time, can help its clients work at heights over 150ft.

·       In 2000, Facelift rubbed shoulders with Tony Blair, as he signed the plaque, which is placed in the roof of the Millennium Dome, from the cage of a Facelift 55m Bronto.

·       In 2001, the company purchased the first 62m Bronto in the UK, which has an impressive out reach of 37 metres.

·       In 2010 – Facelift turned 25!
