The lift at William C Harvey School in London had been installed in 1960 and had become troublesome because of its age. The specification for a bespoke lift, manufactured to fit into a limited space, was put out to competitive tender.

Senior lift engineer at Haringey Council, Stan Benton, required the installation to be completed within the confines of the school holidays.
"Premier Lifts worked to the programme and the lift was in place for the start of the new term. The unit had to be designed to meet current regulations and to fit into an area that is much smaller than standard these days.

"The final product is quicker, larger, smoother and more reliable lift that also complies with disabled access requirements. It shows Premier Lift's flexibility as a company in being able to meet all the criteria.

"They have a small, effective management team and we found this a real advantage compared with working with a larger firm where problems seem to drop into a big black hole. Premier Lift respond quickly if you call them out and you usually see the same engineer which is much more personable".

After the initial 12 month guaranteed maintenance, Premier Lifts have been retained under a maintenance contract.
